Fun at Howell Farm, Late Summer 2009
Another better late than never set of photos and videos! Howell Living History Farm has become one of our favorite hang-outs in the summer. Chris discovered a stream behind the farm’s main attractions…it’s cool and shady and the perfect depth for even Natalie to wade in. One of her favorite things is to pick up rocks from the bottom of the stream and throw them back into the water.
Here are some pictures from when we ran into Natalie’s buddy Olivia and family at the farm and from a trip we took to Howell with Diane and Clara. Although it certainly wasn’t intentional that I fell so behind on blogging, it’s nice to look at these photos as another snow storm approaches. Summer will be here soon!
And a video! The first part of this video is significant for a couple of reasons. First, because Natalie volunteered to help extract the honey in a room full of strangers, as well as the man running the demonstration. It’s one of the first times Natalie hasn’t been too intimidated or shy to do such a brave thing. And second, because there were kids twice her size who had trouble getting the crank all the way around. The second part I edited down quite a bit. Natalie and Clara went on making rooster sounds for much, much longer. You’re welcome!
