We decided to go to the Nesbit Blueberry Plantation and pick some blueberries. We were amazed at how plentiful and LARGE they were. They are extremely tasty too! We've got visions of blueberry cream cheese muffins. We picked over 3 gallons in 30 minutes. Ana had a great time and picked a full 1/2 gallon by herself. Amazing!
My mother got it into her head that Ana needed a motorized vehicle. And, to be fair, there is a huge backyard to ride it in. (Fred and Betsy this will be coming to Indiana too--so be ready!) So after Wednesday night prayer meeting they went to pick it up. It had to charge for 18 hours--so she couldn't use it until the afternoon. It was tough keeping it a secret that long! We left it in low gear at first, but once we saw she could steer it, etc. we let her go. You should have heard her laugh as she took off! Tomorrow I'm putting her to work hauling hedge clippings!
After Grandma got done mowing they played a rousing game of lawnmower tag. (Sorry the photo is so far away, I had my fixed lens on!) Pretty funny to watch!
My girl is a strange one! Here she contentedly played with play dough (using chocolate molds and star wars stampers--what a combo!) while wearing a hair dying cap. In fact she wore that awful thing all day and then forgot about (thank goodness)!
She's been asking frequently to "climb" the tree. This really means pick me up and set me on the branch. She does set there for a while!
One thing I love about being out in the country is that you can explore nature everyday. We try to show Ana nature in Singapore (and Singapore has a lot of gardens/parks). But, it's just not the same as being able to go into your back yard with a magnifying glass and look at the different parts of a plant. So, hooray for summer and lots of time outdoors!
