Learning about bees

We've been packing up the house as well as dealing with J's dad's move too all weekend but for a few hours this morning the girls got up early and made pancakes & strawberries for their mom, served with their aunt's homemade strawberry syrup. It was very messy, so afterwards they needed a cold shower to both clean up and cool off as it was 100+ F today.

Then we went to the grocery store and then to the library which had a class on beekeeping, along with a couple of real live hives. The girls learned all about the industrious bees, and of course, sampled some honey.  If you click on the picture you can what it looked like; the bees are buzzing under the blue covered hives.

They've spent a lot of time at their Nonny's in the last week while we've been packing and have
had so much fun, that being at home, with my rules is sometimes a shock for them....
