No Nature Deficit Disorder Here!

Colleen's co-op art class for 2023


Our friends invited us for an afternoon of play on their property. They have woods and a river running through their farm land. Carly had build this fort so the girls hung out in it.

The little girls pretended "store" on this log for hours.

 

We crammed them all in the buggy for the ride home. Then at the last minute, Sandy let Carly drive the passel of kids back to the house while Val, Sandy, and I walked. The kids thought it was the best moment of their lives.




Gorgeous sunset on the farm
