Harvesting honey

We had the privilege of going to a friends house this summer who raises bees.  We got to watch, and help as she harvested the honey.  What a great experience.

Afterwards we got to swim in their pool.  Lindsey diving off the diving board.

Johnny coming down the slide.  He swam like a fish that day!!  He was jumping off the diving board and swimming all the way to the shallow end.
Watermelon time!
Here he comes.
There he goes!

They had a great day.  Education AND fun!!!!
The honey tasted amazing!  We came home and I made homemade biscuits to eat with the honey!  YUM!
