FHE @ The Dirt Hills

Near our house is a field with some great dirt hills. So we did a quick lesson on communication and why it is important in a family (and how we can use it not to crash into eachother) and off we went! It was a great time. One we will definitely be doing again!

Matthew was the master of the hard hills...fearless.



Joey did a fantastic job...he is so brave, and such a good rider!

Lily was really good at throwing big rocks! We brought her chair and for part of the time she sat in it and cheered her brothers on...very cute.


Andrew, being much more timid and newer to a bike was funny to watch. He picked one hill, did it a few times and was done.

Lily and I took a walk to a nearby dying vineyard. We found one lone grape! She was so proud of it...then she ate it!

I asked her where the grape was...hehe...



Joey hitting the hills again.

Throwing MORE rocks...at least she found something to do that was fun for her.


I took another walk to the vineyard (in the background) and found a few bunches of teeny tiny grapes. I expected them to be terrible and sour, but they were pretty good!




That's one way to do it!



"How do you eat this?"

"Like corn on the cob!"


Don't eat that one...there's dirt all over it!...

Too late. Oh well.

that looked like a fun FHE. That what my brothers and I did growing up was go to the dirt hills, we called them the "bike jumps". Lily's hair is so long and full, very cute.
