Summer - Week Six

The next weekend, we invited Papa Ray and Cheryl to join us for some blueberry picking at Johnson's Farm. We missed strawberry picking season while on vacation, but we love blueberries just as much.

Picking blueberries is much more tedious and time consuming than picking strawberries, so it took a lot longer to fill a basket.

Starting to make some progress.

There were a few strawberry bushes left, so we filled a couple baskets of that too. Wyatt also grabbed a few for his tummy.

A job well done.

Heading back in from the fields.

After lunch, it was playtime.

CeCe hitched a ride with Papa.

Either the corn pit is new, or we somehow missed it last year.

Farm work is exhausting.

On Monday, I surprised Noah with a smoothie after his outdoor track class. Poor thing had to run around for an hour in 90 degree heat.

And then I let them play on the nearby playground for a while.

Same sleeping Charlotte. Different couch.

 We ended the week with a camp fire.

Summer - Week Five

The week we returned from vacation was Noah's second week at Camp Manitoqua. This summer he moved up to the BB cabin.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's a cute picture of Wyatt in his pajamas.

On the third of July, and what has now become our yearly tradition, we went to see the fireworks in Lockport. They always put on a good show.

And on the fourth of July, we did our other new tradition - to watch the local show at our friend's house.

 

We also had some fun doing our own "fireworks" on the driveway.
