When we got there I got out a shovel for me and small garden tools for the kids. They followed me enthusiastically to the garden and looked amazingly at all the plants and dirt... and that was it. Off they ran to find something more interesting to do.
Pierson ran to get a tricycle... it was tough to pedal through the grass.
Maylin ran to pet the horses... So much for my great idea. I spent the next 5 hours in the 90 degree sun planting the garden and running around making sure the kids weren't getting in trouble or getting hurt. Not as much fun as I imagined, but it will still be worth it.
Later that evening we met Grandma and great friends at the park for movie night. We ate picnics and watched "The Princess and the Frog". The kids loved it as well as all 10 adults who
were there to enjoy their company! My camera died before the movie started but I got two which showed their excitement before hand.

Maylin loves her daddy! She also likes Mr. Andy's sunglasses. :) (Can you tell Mr. Andy is a good sport?!)

We are planting our garden this week too! Good luck! Love the ASU gear! And Mr. Andy (if I am thinking of the right Andy?) is a good sport! He is great with kids! I love all of this pictures!
We had such a great time and the kids were wonderful. It is amazing how quickly and how well they are adjusting. Each time I am surprised by something new they have learned. You and Adam should be very proud! ~Kate and Mr. Andy
We're considering turning our large flower bed into a garden here too. I figure that if I let the kids dig up the dirt with their Tonka diggers and bulldozer that they'll enjoy contributing. And we know that at least my younger two enjoy watering plants...
