Seeing Red!

Jen and her kids go strawberry picking every year and it was time for us to get out there as well! This past Sunday we went to breakfast with the Sweet family and then strawberry picking! It was a bit cool and rainy but so much fun! Lindsey ate 2 that she picked while in the field and then decided it was more fun to pick the wild flowers. Lee and Jacob did a great job picking and Jake was super excited that Annabelle was there with him! We picked a ton of strawberries and I made Jen's amazing strawberry crisp that night. We had some berries leftover but they were gone in a day!

Mountainfest 2011

Last week I had the chance to take Jacob to Mountainfest on Fort Drum in between rain showers. We had a blast together and he tried some things he had never done before. One was climbing the rock wall, he got about half way up and realized how high he was and was ready to fall back down. He was so proud of himself. I completely forgot my camera so these are just bitty ones from my phone! We went back that night with Linds for the fireworks but ended up getting rained out! Hopefully we can catch some for the 4th!

Dancing in the Rain

Tonight after dinner Lee took the kids outside to play. It was so warm and sticky and we were going to get out the sprinkler. By the time I was done with the dishes, I could hear Lee yelling to the kids that it was raining. They were riding in Jacob's car and the next thing I knew, they were running in the rain. Then they were in the pool filled with rain water. They were having a blast, who needs a sprinkler?

Last Game of the Season

Tuesday was Jake's last tee ball game. The kids each got a trophy and certificate and we had a little party afterwards. It was so much fun to watch Jacob and Lee be able to do tee ball together.

A New Island to Explore

Jen and Ro told us about TI Park on Wellsley Island, about 45 mins from here. It is such a beautiful place with amazing summer homes. We decided to make an evening out of it on Father's Day. We took a bike ride around the island, had a picnic, played at the playground, and had ice cream at this adorable shop. It was a perfect night!

Cook-out #2

Last night we threw the summer kick-off bbq! Almost all of our friends were able to join us! Everyone seemed to have a blast! Everyone brought a delicious dish to share ( or a few) and we ate, kids swam and played, and we all had a great time!

Old Mac's

On Thursday we took the kids to Old Mac's Farm. Lee had to sit this one out on account of our dog Sugar hurting her leg. (another story)
Lindsey was a little taken aback at first by the animals being up close and personal. The only ones she really seemed to love were the kittens and the cows, go figure. However, they had a great time. It is one place you could take Jake every year and he would still love it!
