InterFaith Food Shuttle Teaching Farm

Phil's grandpa, "Poppy" to the kids, has been volunteering at the InterFaith Food Shuttle for 20+ years! We were all excited to get the official tour of their teaching farm, where they grow organic produce and raise chickens, goats and fish. Jennifer and Zachary fell in love with the goats and had a lot of fun feeding them grass. They also enjoyed checking out the chickens and holding worms from the worm farm! We left with fresh eggs, kale, and carrots and plan on making their farm stand our regular spot for fresh local, organic produce!

Wee Tots

Zach had his Wee Tots class this past Wednesday and loved it! It didn't take him long to warm up to the other kids and he had a blast throwing balls and bean bags, sliding, riding on trikes, popping bubbles, and bouncing in the ball pit!

Keeping up

In an attempt to keep up with *everything* his big sister does, Zach's newest-favorite-thing is brushing his teeth. After several attempts to steal his sister's tooth brush and tooth paste, and tantrums from being told no, we finally got him his own tooth brush and baby tooth paste. When he hears Phil or myself ask Jennifer to brush her teeth, Zach gets a huge smile on his face and literally runs toward the bathroom laughing! This boy is crazy!

Mother's Day

I had a fabulous Mother's Day ... Jennifer made me a beautiful card and hand print stone, and we all hung out together outside since the weather was perfect! So much love for my wonderful family*

Beach! Part two ....

Jennifer and Zachary had so much fun with Liam and Lucas at the beach today! This was Zach's first trip to the beach - he loved playing in the sand and running towards the waves! We were in Duck, part of the Outer Banks, and we got to play on the beach, collect seashells, look for dolphins and wild horses, see some lighthouses, and explore Corolla ... Too much fun for one day!

Beach!

We met up with friends for a fun filled day at the beach! More pics to come ...

Puddle jumping!

We've had a lot of rainy days around here lately ... Good thing Jennifer and Zachary love taking advantage of the big puddles left behind! Jumping and splashing in the puddles turned into sitting and laying in the puddles ... Oh well, they were getting wet anyway!
