Purpose of a Garden

What is the purpose of having a garden? To save money on vegetables? Well, not really they are actually cheaper from the store.
I have a garden so that my kids can learn about plants and eat fresh vegetables.
So Our garden is serving its purpose. Caleb has learned that carrots grow in the garden, he can identify them and he knows that it he pulls on the tops enough he can get a carrot.
He also like to eat them. He eats a couple of little carrots everyday.

So next year I am going to plant more carrots. Maybe a couple of different types. Caleb also loved the pea plants that were ripe last month. however he never really ate them, he just played with them like a bunch of little marbles.

We went swimming recently.... Isn't Reed cute in his little towel suit? The other kids also enjoyed the pool. Martin was old enough to go off the diving board and on the water slides by himself.



Caleb loves being in the water.

Reed is getting really big. I am excited to see them soon and go swimming! Hopefully Isak doesn't pull up anything that isn't edible in your garden...

Caleb also went down the waterslide. They won't let you go down with your child, but they have someone at the bottom to catch them.

Caleb really wanted to go down, so I let him. Apparently, he turn around a couple times on his way down. He exited the slide head-first and decided that he didn't like the waterslide anymore.
