Logan did a great job with his F-150 truck. He even picked up a rider - Levi - a neighborhood kid.
After playing and getting hot, it was time for a quick dip in the nice cool pool.
On Friday evening Rosie and Logan made Rice Krispy Easter Eggs. Here they are working in the kitchen.
The finished product looked really neat (and tasted delicious!). Say "cheese".
We had "eggs" for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Logan and Kayleigh ate the last two eggs on Monday morning.I enjoyed reading to the kids. They really liked a book called, Overboard. They both knew exactly when to say, "overboard!", and they said it with gusto.
On Saturday we (and many other folks) went to Froberg Farms to pick strawberries. Due to the weather, the strawberries weren't as good this year as last year. In fact this was the last weekend of picking. Picking typically lasts until early June, but this year the weather cut it short. Rosie and Kayleigh are heading to the field.
Here I am picking with my helper and official bucket manager, Logan.
Kayleigh was our official taste tester. She did a lot of "in the field" testing.
Here we are heading back to the barn to weigh-in our strawberries.
Of course at the barn we had to get some of their delicious fried pies. But bummer, no peaches and cream fried pies today. We'll have to come back before we leave for HSV!On Sunday afternoon we had Kayleigh's birthday party. In addition to the Flachmans and us, neighbors, Phil, Hope and Angela joined us for the party. Kayleigh is ready to blow out the candles. The cake is strawberry with cream cheese icing; it was delicious!
Kayleigh's sure there's another present in the bag.
Shane was doing a significant "make over" of the backyard patio area. Here he is working on the sandbox he made for the kids. They'll really enjoy this.
On Monday morning we headed back to Froberg Farms to get some strawberries to take back to HSV. While we were there, we took time to play on the swings and get pictures made in the strawberry cut-outs. Logan and Karen are having fun on the swing.
Gram is having fun pushing Kayleigh.
Here are our two strawberries:
Importantly, we not only got strawberries to take back, but we also got some peaches and cream fried pies. Yeah - what great timing.Thanks Flachmans for a great time. We look forward to seeing most of you on July 4th.
