A Good Friend

The kids made a friend.  A good friend.  She's Mom approved!  Her name is Lina, she's our neighbor and she's 10-years-old.  She is so sweet and such a joy to have around.  She really likes Ava & Lincoln and she includes both of them when they all play together.  She's a good influence on the kids.  She puts their shoes on, helps them brush their teeth and holds their hands when we're out and about.  What's not to like?!  Also, she enjoys and appreciates everything and that makes her fun to include in things like family adventures and craft projects.

Here are some pics of our recent adventures with Lina:

Lina told us about Remlinger Farms - apparently, her family goes there every Fall for their pumpkins.  I looked into and learned that they have berry picking in the summer as well.  They also have the cutest little "amusement park" for the kids.  We spent an entire day there a few weeks ago and it wasn't enough time.  I can't wait to go back - especially in the Fall!

They have a Hay Jump and that's just plain awesome...
