A morning walk

Today is such a beautiful day and the sun was warm and shining so after breakfast the kids and I went for a walk. Just about a block away from us are 2 cows that I wanted to take the kids to see. On the way we saw some wild blackberries and ate a few.

It is a nice walk a little down the hill we live on. Walking down the hill we have the most amazing views.


Naomi stopped often to pick up rocks or flowers.

When we got to the cows they were sitting in their field but within a few minutes they got up and came over to us.

Jake wasted no time getting to know them better and fell in love right away. The boys thought it was gross when they licked up their nose and one of them pooped right in front of us, which Naomi found very interesting. She kept asking "Mommy, why's he doing that?"

The kids wanted to try and feed them so they picked some of the grass along the fence. But they quickly discovered that the cows loved the purple flowers. They would follow the kids as they picked the flowers and then followed them back to the spot where they could reach to feed them. At first they were scared as their big tongue came out but they got use to it and had so much fun.

As we walk back home the cows followed us all along the fence, mooing very loudly, which the kids got such a kick out of. They can't wait to go visit them again and take Darrick. When we were almost home they found these huge leaves that were starting to change colors. How fun to see some signs of Fall!

We have some blackberries growing wild behind our fence so the kids wanted to pick some for lunch. We got a nice little bowl full, washed them and got ready for lunch. We were having Peanut Butter Toast so Jake put his berries on top of the PB. A few minutes later Jake said that there were worms crawling on his toast! Sure enough, there were some little tiny white worms coming out of some of the berries. We were so grossed out and threw them all away but we each had already eaten some...Yuck!
