Farm Trip

We organized a 2-day-1-night farm camping for a few families with adorable children lately. Before the children left the farm, they told us that they want to stay for a few more hours and even visit us again. It was so encouraging and touching! Although it was a short trip, kids had so much fun learning to sail a bamboo raft on their own in the big lake, observe the water lilies in the closed distance, play water polo in teams, catch bugs with homemade tool in the vegetables garden, walk the country path at night, listen to the noises produced by different types of insects and animals, build their own tent, walk in the woods to experience the nature, etc. Prior to the trip, I was concerned that adults might not want to have so much physical activities and prefer to sit and enjoy the view of the farm. To my surprise, these parents are extremely active and inspiring parents. It is really lucky to be their children. They participated in all the activities with full energy and shared knowledge with each other at all time. They had taught me new knowledge and skills.

I noticed that how these children behaved could be traced back to their family practices. It was interesting to watch and fun to take note of. I start to imagine how my children will look like and behave for having a mum like me.
