Labor Dy weekend part 1-a walk by the river and soft serve

We took a walk along the river near our house and then later got ice cream (with bbq'd chicken in between). It was a pleasant start to the labor day weekend.

the kids spent a lot of time hiding with grampie to jump out at us, they kept him busy
looking out at the dam
look grampie geese!



walking along the the nice cement border for extra challenge
ice cream!!

Strawberry picking!

We belong to a CSA (Community supported Agriculture) where we get veg and a little fruit delivered to a pick local that is near to us. a few, um weeks ago, we drove out to the actual farm for some supplemental berry picking. ahhh sweet berries fresh off the vine, with the company of a friend it was delightful!



they very cleverly had little cars and trucks to occupy those not so inclined to spend hours picking
Bruce was incredibly diligent, and lily's container somehow never really managed to get that full, but she was very attentive to sitting in the patch and getting them off the vine ;)
I got to hold little baby Noah while his mom took a turn picking...ahhh

such big helpers!

having a picnic lunch under a shady tree after all that picking was delightful. Here's mama and baby enjoying it


and of course, post picking ice cream at a local stand :)

The end of a wonderful birthday event

After dinner it was time to walk to the dairy bar for the topper of a whole day of birthday events. Modeling the other side of the "fancy dress" worn for the party
papa leads the way with the cousins (all that's left of the party)
molly models cutely (she was so cute I couldn't help post the pic ;)
thankfully, the dress is not too fancy to eat alot of soft serve in....
