The house was pretty full during much of our stay. My 71-year-old mother had signed up for two kids from the Fresh Air Fund (11-12 year-old girls from NYC) and also had a previous Fresh Air Fund child with whom she had stayed in touch through the years (now 25 years old) coming to visit with her 6-year old daughter. We grew up having kids at our house during the summers and it was always fun to watch their reaction to things. Upon seeing a deer for the first time, one of the older girls exclaimed, “Look – a deer escaped from the zoo!” They were amazed when 7 of them showed up in our backyard. The kids also went fishing, caught small turtles, went to a farm and visited a wolf preserve that had wolves, bobcats and foxes.
