we started out with an amazing breakfast at 'the wagon wheel'... they have amazing oatmeal pancakes... and i loved that as soon as we were seated... the waitress came by and brought jones some toy horses to play with... he was so intertained! it was perfect...
...then... on to our bug walk... at earthbound farms... there is an organic farm located in carmel...
...jones of course got very excited to see the tractors there... and then to play in the dirt...
...at first he wasnt so sure about the ladybugs...
bug walk: we wandered through the plants as our guide taught us about the different insects and what there purpose is... then... the best part... everyone got a handful of ladybugs... they help out, they are just cute... they are a good bug!
then... we got our goody bags... with yummy organic earthbound stuff... jones learned a new word... and loved to say 'apple' the rest of our trip...
then... we took a stroll through the herb garden... we actually got to try this crazy plant... it was kind of wierd to just take a piece of the leaf and eat it... so minty... i loved it...
then... on to the chamomile labyrinth for some relaxation... i wish i had this in my backyard... it was awesome! the sign behind jones told us to take our shoes off and enjoy our feet in the grass covered in chamomile... we did!
jones and flowers... he loves to smell them...
(sign at the end of the labyrinth path)
couldnt get enough flowery beauty...
and i have a hard time choosing which pictures i like best... so why not include them all... right??
next... we had a bonfire on the beach....
so... i bought fireworks to do on the beach... because it was the fourth.. but of course we didnt want to get a fine of $1000.00 dollars so... we didnt get to use those... but we had fun anyways... shauna was the smart one and said:
"since we cant have fire works...
we have a fire... our fire works = fireworks... yeah!"
leave it to shauna to be so clever!
then... aaron and becky davidson joined us with their family... they taught us a new trick... if you throw "poppers" or certain pieces of seaweed in the fire, they pop... so we had even more non-fireworks-fireworks... i love the fourth of july!
it was so fun... we roasted hot dogs... and ate smores... i love love love smores... yum!!!
such a fun night...
