Sunflower Field at Burnside Farm

Mark and Nina just got back from their four days at Dad/Daughter Camp Wildflower.  It was four days in a rustic camp in West Virginia – just dads and daughters.  They had a great time, and I have solicited him into doing a guest blog post about it, so that’s coming!!

Yesterday was Nina’s first full day back, and the girls and I went to a farm that was growing fields of sunflowers.  It was beautiful!  We grabbed a wagon, some snips for cutting a few, and enjoyed the walk through the beautiful flowers.

In addition to the sunflower field, there was a little animal barn at the back of the area where we saw some animals, swung on a swing, and the girls played a funny game of “follow me” with a white rooster.

One of Nina and Lyla’s favorite parts of the whole day was playing chase with this rooster.  I only videoed part of it.  They actually chased back and forth for much longer, but here is a little sample: http://youtu.be/GX8Wacqsx3E

At the end of our visit, we payed for our picks, arranged them in a jar, and were on our way home.  I’m enjoying having this beautiful arrangement in my kitchen now!
