Thus Far

Here’s a sampling of activities engaged in around our house so far this year.  I expect this will probably be fairly representative of what we’ll be doing most of the year.

Engaging in a little creativity and dramatic play.

  
Visiting playgrounds.  (This should NOT surprise you.)

Reading.  Lots and lots and lots of reading.

 
Chore training.

Adventuring!

   
This time around we chose a small petting zoo located just up the road in San Juan Capistrano.

                                   
The kids got on very well with the extremely friendly (hungry? curious?) rabbits, chickens, goats and other animals.
  Yes, and extremely tame too.

They had just received a number of baby animals, including this calf, more chickens (who were at that awkward stage of half feather-half fuzz), a young alpaca, and a new colt.

                           
We were the first customers of the day, which probably contributed to the animals’ willingness to be fed by small hands.

They also had a “sand”box full of feed corn that Naomi thought was spectacular.

             
A small playground completed the experience and sent us all home happy.

What do you expect your year will look like?
