"No one can reap the fruit before planting the trees."
-Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
Ashlyn got on a tiny food kick this week and decided to cook for Cinnamon. She made pancakes, soup, and even a small sandwich all with hamster-friendly ingredients. Cinnamon was appreciative of Ashlyn’s cooking skills and gobbled up everything put in front of her.
With the weather getting warmer, it’s time to plant the garden. This year the kids each got their own planter and we made them put in the soil, place the seeds, and add the water. Ashlyn and James both chose carrots. Ashlyn also planted lettuce so she could make a salad and James wanted catnip because he thought the cats would like it. Isla only wanted pretty flowers.
To round out the week we took the kids to Fossil Rim in hopes of feeding giraffes. We got lucky, when we got near the area with the giraffes they decided they were hungry and came out to our van looking for food. Each of the kids got the opportunity to feed the long-necked giraffes and it was easily the highlight of the weekend for the kids.
