to the farm...

There is a farm up the road.  I've been trying to buy my produce there and support the local economy.  They also have a playground and a pond and GOATS.  You can feed them by hand or use pulleys to send the food up to a catwalk in little tin cups.  (don't stand under the catwalk or you might get peed or pooped on.)  This place is way more fun than the grocery store!

Real Conversation

Grant is crying

Me: Grant what happened

Spencer: Well, we were throwing shoes and one hit him in the face

Me: Go put away the shoes

Spencer: I was afraid you might say that

Both kids ran off happily and put away the shoe.  I am counting this as a win in the good parent column despite the shoe throwing.
