A few weeks ago we had our little 'kickoff' for the co-op preschool Tienna's doing. We went up to Riley's Farm where the kids were able to pick apples, make apple cider, sing songs, go on a hay ride and even learn how to make kazoos too. It was a fun day where we all enjoyed being out of the heat and learning a few new things. 

Picking up apples off the ground for the cider.

Kiara kept trying to eat the apples.

Here's the group plus one extra friend who has since moved away. 

Learning to play washboards, triangles, etc. 

Tienna's turn to make the wooden man dance.  

This is farmer Dan and his dad. Farmer Dan has lived on this farm since he was 3 year old when his family moved up from the valley and built the long cabins, barns, amphitheater, etc and everything that is still standing today. He was full of fascinating stories about how the farm works, how they grow and harvest all the crops and all the fun things they did when they were done working. Even the little ones Kiara's age were interested enough to listen. 

This is the drinking fountain on the farm. The kids loved it as you can tell!

So far Tienna is LOVING preschool. She can't wait to go in the mornings and loves telling me all about it when she gets home. I can't believe this is her last year before she starts kindergarten, she's getting so old!
