Every week I try to go out to my grandparent house to help them with whatever needs to be done. It also is a good opportunity for the kids to know their great grandparents. I think that is a rare treat. I grew up half a mile down the road from my grandparents and I am glad I get to share them with my kids. I also get to see my dad when we're there and the kids learn about the farm. Today it was time to dig the sweet potatoes. The kids were so excited to help and they really got into it.
My dad is probably one of the best people that could teach the kids about how things grow. He loves that the kids are interested in what he does. Luke never passes up a ride on the tractor or a chance to "farm." He has a genuite interest in farming right now and wants to go with Papa Mike and help him whenever he can.
Uncle Bren helped Addy dig up her treasures. That is really what it felt like. They found some HUGE sweet potatoes. They got to help plant the sweet potatoes a couple months ago, so hopefully being a part of the process will help them enjoy eating them! Anybody have a good recipe for sweet potatoes?
