A True Farm Girl

August spent the day with Rylan and I a few weeks ago. We took her to the farm with us to do chores. She filled the water tub for us.We picked sweet corn and shucked it outside. We showed her how to shuck the corn and she did a few ears by herself. She pulled one piece at a time off of the husk. When she got to the silks and give it to Rylan and say 'yucky hairs' and he'd pull off the hairs and then she be so excited and yell 'CORN!' and put it in the bucket. Every time she shucked an ear, it was a surprise every time to see the corn inside.

Later in the afternoon, Rylan and I canned green beans. We started snapping them and August wanted to be right next to the both of us helping. So we'd snap off the ends and she'd snap them in half and throw them in the bowl.
It was too funny to watch her help us do everything..even with toys scattered all over the place..she'd rather be helping us shuck corn and snap green beans! You gotta love this girl...she's a one of a kind!

I love to see her learn new things! I bet she had a blast shucking corn and discovering what was inside! She just loves you guys.
