We LOVED having Grandpa and Uncle Danny come and visit. The kids still talk about you--Kali actually told me today that she wished we could live in Idaho.
Picking Strawberries
 |
| That is one huge field of strawberries! Here we are, heading out. (Shon and Grandpa) |
 |
| Kali looking for some big ripe ones:) |
 |
| Grandpa showing Cody just the right way to pick a strawberry. |
 |
| It was a beautiful, HOT day:) |
 |
| Here comes Uncle Danny sporting Nathan on his back |
 |
| Kayla thought it was all kinds of fun picking things and not getting into trouble for it! |
 |
| She usually tagged along with Uncle Danny...her buddy. |
 |
| He helped her find the good ones! |
 |
| They look good--and they tasted even better! mmmmm |
 |
| Strawberries? |
 |
| Shon just ate most of the ones he picked. (actually, we were all eating some here and there--couldn't resist!) |
 |
| Found a row that hadn't been picked yet! |
 |
| Uncle Danny and Nathan |
 |
| Mommy and Kayla |
 |
| "It is HOT out here!" Welcome to the south Danny! |
 |
| I gave Danny a break from Nathan so he could find even better strawberries and actually give Grandpa some competition. Turns out bending over to pick strawberries is much harder with a baby on your back! |
 |
| The results: 3 "BERRY" full baskets of "berry" yummy strawberries. (note Grandpa's basket wins the prize:) |
Riding back from the field
We got to go on a little wagon ride out to the field and back, which the kids loved! Here are some pics.
 |
| He is such a flirt! |
Checking out the rest of the farm
 |
| It was fun having Grandpa with us to tell us cool farm stories! |
 |
| Cody petting the bunny |
 |
| This farm has a cool history. This family has been farming it since they came over from Scotland in the 1700's. They had some fun old building and farming equipment. |
 |
| Kayla loved the baby goat |
 |
| Kali petting the goats. |
 |
| Any guesses? DOODLEBUGS |
 |
| Grandpa had everyone's interest on this one! |
 |
| He said he had never seen so many in one place! We had a little doodlebug party! |
 |
| More petting animals |
 |
| Surprise surprise....Kayla is stuck in the fence. Why is she trying to get in there in first place!!! |
 |
| Uncle Danny to the rescue. |
 |
| I love this pic! You guys look great! |
 |
| Me and my Daddy. I really love him! |
 |
| Homemade ice cream anybody? |
 |
| I love these guys:) Shon, Danny, Dad. |
 |
| There was something very southern feeling as we sat in rocking chairs on the patio of the old farm house eating ice cream! |
 |
| And Nathan may have snuck some ice cream in as well. |
 |
| Here is what we took home! |
 |
| And.....we ate strawberries with EVERYTHING for the next week! (not that I'm complaining!) |
