This morning was a gorgeous morning in KS. We decided to go visit a local farm in Weston. My awesome friend, Sherri, recommended the place to us for fall festivals. But, we decided to visit this morning. It was a warm morning and the temperature deceives you due to the humidity. I was pouring sweat by the end of the morning and the girls were soaked to the bone too with sweat! It is a different climate than TX for sure and it will be nice to cool off in the pool this afternoon.
Lillian is ready to hit the deep end again of the pool. Lillian was thrilled to pass her swim test at the pool this week. She had to swim from one side to the other side without help (Olympic size pool) in order to be able to go to the deep end and enjoy the water slide and diving board. She did and now loves the water slide and diving board! We were so proud of her!!!
We visited the local store and it offered cute crafts, pots, pans, toys, and other farm goodies. The jams looked delicious and we were able to buy some fresh nectarines too. We walked around the property and enjoyed showing the girls the chicken coop, goats, horses, turkeys, and sheep. Of course, Lydia was thrilled to quickly point out her favorite animal to her sister- cows. She was so excited to see them on the farm! The girls even had the opportunity to feed the goats.
Next, we hit the blackberry patch. It was fun to be able to take the girls to the actual farm and enjoy the fresh fruit. We picked two small baskets of blackberries. It was the first time either girls have had the opportunity to pick fresh fruit and I enjoyed it too. It reminded me of my grandparents house on the farm and my sisters and I would pick fresh grapes, apples, peaches, figs and everything else in the garden. Great times as a child!
We went on a hayride around the corn field and then it was time to head home. We were all hot and sweaty and ready for lunch. What a nice morning and another adventure for the Martin Family! Love you all!
