Mother’s Day Weekend

11 May

I got my super nice totally unexpected Mother’s Day gift earlier this week when Verizon accidentally activated my brand new iPhone and thus making my current iPhone inoperable. A very confused Verizon customer service rep thought I was truly clueless when I explained there was no iPhone 5 on my account, I just wanted my iPhone 4 to make calls.

We decided to head to Shlagel Farms today to meet up with Mom, Leigh and Chip to pick strawberries and it was perfect timing. The weather was a little overcast but no rain spoiled our trip. We got lots of berries and even ran into some friends.

Miss H remembered the swing set from last year and was quick to meet a friend to join her on the double swing. They got it really high!

Speaking of Miss S- she does not like the vacuum.

But she does like empty plastic bottles.

After all this excitement, we decided to head to a Japanese Steakhouse not far from our house. Miss H loves ‘food as entertainment’ and Kerry’s dad had never experienced the fire, the volcano or the flying shrimp. Everyone was full and happy. And, Miss H did a pretty good job with the ‘chompsticks.’

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Back to Montpelier Farms

15 Oct

A trip to Montpelier Farms has become one of our fall traditions.

First, in 2010.

Then in 2011.

And, now this year.

We went with Mom, Leigh, Chip, Amanda, Jim and Caitlyn and everyone enjoyed the day of pumpkin painting, slides, bounce house, the corn crib and all the other fun activities.

The kids got a ride around the farm.

The kids and their dads enjoyed the pumpkin slingshot.

Plus, we got a video.

They made corn angels.

And, road around the petal cart track with some help from Jim and Kerry.

They painted pumpkins with help from Mom.

We now have a new painted pumpkin to add to our growing front porch collection. After all the painting, we made another trek back to the slides and by that time, everyone was exhausted.

Another great year at Montpelier Farms!
