After a few weeks of postpones dates, we finally made it up to Garrison for a day of fun with Team ArandaLee. Thanks to Doris’ inside connections to a local CSA farm, the kids could play with baby goats to their hearts content (we were the only visitors). They also got to feed cows, sheep, and horses. The 3-week old chicks weren’t yellow anymore, but still very cute and exciting to pet under Doris’ expert guidance. Back at the hive, it was time to make some basic 1970s European childhood experiences: we built our own bows and arrows. The older kids helped strip the bark off of the fresh wood (yes, with real knives), and everybody got to practice on Arturo’s impromptu’s target … even the smallest warriors.

    Thanks, Sooki! I love my colored jeans – much more fun than dressing black/dark all the time. But it does look like my subconscious is preparing for the trip already … i had my 2nd cardamom bun from Fika today.
