Camp at Wheeler Farm

M and Kate went to a day camp at Wheeler Farm this summer. It went for four weeks and they got to ride a horse, milk a cow, collect chicken eggs, groom a donkey and play and explore around the farm. They had a lot of fun and it was great they got to be there together. One of the duckings in this duck family was often swimming off on its own. The girls named it Independent.
This tree is called the Lightning Tree and the girls were talking about how much fun it was all week. Its a very old Box Elder tree that I guess was hit by lightning years ago. M and Kate are little monkeys who have spent half of the summer in the tree in the front of Mum and Dad's house, so this big climbing tree was perfect.
They were also excited to show me the cubby house in the "back woods." They gave me a tour and even though I can't remember the various areas now (my nickname is Dori) it reminded me so much of the cubby house I had in one part of our yard growing up.
Displaying their sidewalk art. M's is dolphins and Kate's is an undersea scene with a turtle.

What cute little girls! Nothing better than seeing kids playing outdoors and having good old fashion fun.
