Mary Jane's Farm

The kids & I are down in Moscow visiting Grammie & Poppa for a few days. This evening we all went out to Mary Jane's Farm. If you are not familiar with Mary Jane's Farm, you should check out the website. We had a great time exploring, picking berries, and just being outside together on a summer evening.



Grace & Isaac have discovered hammocks this summer & love to play on them. The only trouble is when they flip over!



Grace loved all of the berries, but especially the fresh strawberries.



Picking rasberries Grace-style...if you look closely, you can see the nasty mosquito bites she got at camp earlier this week.



Exploring with Poppa



The kids love animals & Isaac especially enjoyed his first experience with chickens.



They love being together



My beloved Palouse





Mary Jane has a number of outdoor bed & breakfast style lodgings that guests can come and use. As you can see, they are unique and beautiful. I know I would love to stay sometime.

While Mary Jane's has really taken off (food products, magazine, linens & more), the fun part for me is that I grew up going out to the farm when it was just their house. Mary Jane's daughter, Megan, was one of my best buddies - particularly in middle school & early high school. I remember many nights sleeping out on the trampoline & various adventures out in the country - including the outhouse! Megan and I lost touch for a few years but have reconnected in the past couple of years and have had a blast visiting each time I come to town. Her daughter Stella is just a few months older than Grace & Isaac, and she will be having her second child just a couple of months after our new little one arrives. What fun!
