Sunflower Sisters

We planted a garden for the first time this year, and along with the vegetables, Matisyn planted her own sunflowers.  She planted them herself, has watered them, and checked on them daily.  It was so fun to watch how excited she got as they hit certain milestones.  First they popped out of the ground, then they were up to her knees, then they were taller than her, then as tall as Mommy, then taller than Daddy. . . and then right when the flowers were about to open up, they got too heavy and pulled themselves out of the ground and fell over.  :(  She handled it well though.  The flowers still opened and we have admired them from their various angles!  We took a few pictures to show off her hard work and flower dedication.

Matt found a cricket to show the girls.  They were pretty interested as you can see!
