Grandpa's "Farm"

We are home and I'm finally posting what I had intended to post while on vacation . . . But as expected, it was a whirlwind trip! We traveled most the day Thursday and made it to our destination just in time for some yummy taco pizza! Don't dis it until you try it! *wink*


Friday a.m. we were able to lounge for a bit. Grandpa Lion took us for a look in his farm. (okay, it's a garden in his backyard. But come on people, add a few free range chickens and they could be self-sufficient with everything they have!)
Little Lion loved helping pick, Little Pumpkin loved helping eat: She really didn't mind the dirt; just a little extra protein for the day!

Freshly dug up potatoes! I'm still amazed.

And we wonder where Little Pumpkin gets it from?!? Daddy Lion enjoying his harvest of the green beans! I'm still not sure what appeal a raw green bean has.

Somehow, someone wasn't thinking and gave the basket of strawberries to Little Pumpkin to carry inside to be washed . . . you guessed it:
They never made it inside! We got side-tracked looking at eggplant varieties and the next thing we know Little Pumpkin is gone and quiet ~ never a good combination! *wink* Daddy Lion found her around the corner of the house shoveling in as many strawberries as she could!

  7. Sounds like you had a whirlwind trip. There is nothing like fresh strawberries. Who can blame her for wanting to eat the strawberries?
