ONe of the ideas in the anxious generation book is kids need much much more free play. Which is to say unstructured slightly unmonitored play. Kids need to take risks and challenge themselves which is more than I like to see but am learning is very important for their spacial, strength and self concious development. So going to water cows no matter the weather is a great deal! Good hats as the weather gets colder. I fell in love with these bomber style hats on an extremely windy day a while ago.
Mark's football poster for decorating the bus. Addie whipped it up in a few minutes on Canva. I have no idea how to navigate that program but she did.
Free play looks like dirt and exploring and doing what they dream up.
This treeline was such a blessing it blocked teh strong wind and made our time refilling the truck not too bad.
Crossing a bridge teaches coordination and balance. The trees in the background were an experiment from the 90's growing poplars for power poles. Now they are down and decaying slowly.
Pretending to make a fire starts with carrying fire wood.
Checking the tank to see how much water we have.
Livy with her wreath from mutual. There's lots to learn and experience. We continue to strive to have real connections with real people.
I do love when learning validates and encourages things we already work towards. Life is good and we are so blessed to be stewards and caretakers of not only land but livestock. There is something truly divine in nurturing life.
