Beautiful doesn't cut it....

We live in a spectacularly gorgeous place. 


Today's field-trip took us to the wonderful countryside surrounding Boulder. To see these vistas on a daily basis puts a smile on my face. I just have to share!

Farmhands for the day

Today my friend and I took our little tots to Miller Farm in Platteville, Colorado.  It was a haul to get there but so worth it! You go on a hayride out into the fields, they hand you bags, and you fill them! We had several stops at various fields and got to pick (all you can carry) carrots, cabbage, indian corn, sweet corn, green beans, celery, potatoes, onions, pumpkins and more. We brought home 3 radio flyer wagon loads full!
Check out the corn we scored!

This was fantastic day; wonderfully warm, clear blue sky, the lovely smells of hay and dirt, and a picnic lunch on a hayride. I could do this every day! The kids learned so much, and had a great time as well- munching green beans and corn off the fields and climbing a huge mound of hay.

So lucky to have great local farms like these!
