Thanks to @chickendreams24 's hospitality, the kids I had a wonderful end to summer.
We went on a road trip....
We toured her fiance's family's farms & learned about some of the big machines and some of the science behind corn. The kids enjoyed climbing on everything, of course. I also laughed because one of their favorite things was taking a drink from the well. (They've never seen one before.)
Then we went to her grandma's house for a picnic. I baked some breads & they shared some delicious peaches and Amish friendship bread for dessert.

After that we went to another farm with animals. I enjoyed our host's sense of humor when the kids asked an animal's name...
Dog (DD's fav animal there) = someone abandoned him there, so he figured the dog was a bum and named Hobo.
Donkey = named Jack
Cat = named MeowMeow by a grandkid
A great summer day!!!
