Planting our Garden | Personal

After our fabulous Easter day filled with fun, food, and family we came home and planted our vegetable garden!   The kids had a blast digging, planting and watering our new little “farm.”  It warms my heart to know that they enjoy doing this sort of thing.  I love coming together as a family spending quality time with each other.  Something as simple as(well…not that simple!)making a garden created an afternoon of pure bliss.  In reality though, there is so much more it.  For one, we, as a family, created a plan and a goal.  In the end, we will get to physically see(and eat!) what we worked hard for.  We did something together that we can be proud of.  We worked together for the same goal and when those first tomatoes and cucumbers start coming in, I can’t wait to see their faces light up with joy.  We are teaching principles such as teamwork and family values….work ethic and taking pride in your what you do…..spending time together with loved ones…setting goals and seeing them through….I know that their enthusiasm may not last for planting a garden, but I hope that the seeds we are planting within them continue to grow and blossom.

What sort of things do you like to do together as a family?  I hope this inspires you to go out and “plant some seeds” of your own! 🙂

FYI, These images were shot with my NEW Canon 5d Mark III…..I am in LOVE with this camera.  It is a dream…..
