So today was the Terry Fox Run at school. Riley had to come up with pledges and then he actually did laps outside around the school. The kids LOVED it. Riley told me that he was walking because a boy lost his leg and we had to help him. So did he grasp the point? Maybe not entirely, but enough to have been excited to help. And that's all that matters. He's only 3, every year he gets older, I think I'll elaborate a little more deeper. Too many people nowadays forget charitable causes. Anyways... I forgot to show you guys these pics from a few weeks ago when we went to the farm. My parents have a large orchard. When we were kids it was pretty thriving and took everyone helping out to gather the fruit. red & green Apples,crab apples, plums, nanking cherries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc. Now that mom & dad are by themselves (yes we have all finally grown up...) We go out and help when we can. But this year I was a little late, so we didn't get as many for pies, juice & applesauce as I would've liked. But that's life. This was the first year that I got the boys participating.
I love the crisp colours of fruit. beautiful! I was trying to show Jager not to keep the bad ones. Here he is looking to see if there is a worm. Riley of course told him that bad ones have a worm in them. Where do kids get this stuff? Too funny. Such a serious look Jager.
Here Riley found a leaf with a caterpillar on it. They LOVE these fuzzy animals. Jager would just squeal as they walked all over him.
We have such a great time at the farm! Always. Today the boys went out because Riley has no school tomorrow and I do need a break to get all my last minute details ready for the Cruisin Away Crop! The boys are so excited because Grandpa is taking them on the combine! Cannot wait to hear their stories! Also can you believe it, 2 more sleeps till the biggest Cruise Crop to hit Saskatchewan! I have big news to announce there to. Make sure if you can't make it, still drop by and visit me. I'm so excited to see everyone! Come back tomorrow and I'll be going over all the events that will take place and all the amazing sponsors that have donated product. It will be a long post!
The colors in these pictures are so vibrant and beautiful!
