The 'Venture continues!!

The rest of last week, back in Coshocton, was just as fun as our time in Columbus! We began each day talking about the 'venture we were going to have for that day!! Water fights in the garden continued as well as a trip to Forest Hill Lake ... a fresh water lake complete with little fishes that you can go paddling and swimming in! Abigail loved it ... still not sure about the fish nibbling at our ankles though!
We spent some time in the garden too ... clearing up here and there ... but also harvesting some of our veggies ... needless to say Abigail was straight in there to help out!!
As we said at the beginning of our gardening adventure ... it was a first time experiment for us ... and we're pleased to say that we had another success ...
Abigail thought it was really fun to get the carrots out of the ground and helped pull the tops off ... with a lot of huffing and puffing and "help please mummy's".
We've still got a load more carrots in the ground and have already been able to give some to some friends! They taste yummy and fresh!
Our butternut squashes are beginning to look positive now too ... watch this space!
Another new 'venture in those few days was our first family bike ride! We recently got Abigail a bike seat so we can go for rides together (an early birthday present from Nana Kukhu), it's on the front so she can see where we're going and she LOVED it so much!
She was full of giggles the whole time ... this was the beginning of the ride ... followed by an ice-cream break ...
... and this last photo was taken just before Abigail threw a major hissy fit when we tried to get to her off the bike and into the car ... obviously too much fun!!!
As you can see we had a great week of fun together and made the most of every opportunity! Holiday time is so much fun!
