The first day we got here, my mom and I were waiting for my dad to get home from work, so we took Kara out to the back yard to play. I love my parents' back yard for two reasons: one, our yard at home is all dirt and isn't much fun to play in (plus it is over-run by ants that bite you! I can't wait until we can own our own home), and two, my parents have lived here for 17 years, and most of the trees and vegetation in the back is starting to mature--so it is a beautiful and shady yard.One of the pear trees started producing little tiny pears this year! I thought that was pretty cool.
I showed Kara how to roll in the grass (even though I knew it would make me super itchy!), and we both had fun rolling around and chasing each other. Except for the moment that Kara decided to get upset and cry, but it only lasted for a moment and I don't even know what she got upset about. Maybe she just likes to fuss! Some may say it is payback, but I don't think that can be true because I was ALWAYS a perfect angel!
When my dad got home, he started working in the garden. See the patch of pumpkins he is growing for Kara? (Really, he is growing them for Kara!) I guess we will have to visit at Halloween!
Some of the peas he is growing were ready to be picked too, so Kara brought my dad a little bowl to put them in.
We tried to get Kara to eat some peas, but she won't eat almost anything green, and this is the reaction we got:
Stay tuned for some more trip photos tomorrow!

I haven't been back to CO in years and I miss it! Have fun with your family and with that gorgeous girl of yours! She's growing up so fast.
I love how she's just ignoring the peas like they're not there! Someday maybe my garden will actually grow instead of burning up and dying.
