Nature

While I wouldn't take back a moment that we spent in Paradise, the girls are definitely getting a different nature experience here in Germany. We keep saying over and over how happy we are with the decision to live on post vs. on the Economy. We LOVE our neighborhood, not only because of the convenience of the commissary, school, extra-curricular activities and safe bike riding but because of the harvesting and wildlife! We have a cherry tree in our yard, blackberry bushes behind our house, and a pear and apple tree across the street!



When the girls come with me to walk Leila they typically choose to ride their bikes or scooters. On this particular day, Hailey noticed that the horses were brought into a field to graze that butts up to our neighborhood. We ran home to get apples and fed them. Leila wasn't their biggest fan!The cherries finally ripened up and we picked enough to make a cherry cobbler! We had moved in last year just as the cherries were rotting and falling off the tree.


The amount of cherries are endless!!! The girls enjoy making "cherry stew" and "cherry juice" And of course you can't be one with nature without some mud!!!!!!!!!!


Or a bonfire!
