Memorial Day Weekend

What a whirlwind weekend!  It was full of family fun and by the time Monday evening rolled around we were all pretty exhausted.

On Sunday we met up with Uncle Will, Aunt Sue, and sweet little Maddie for some fun at the zoo.  I have to admit that it was pretty hot, but it was really fun.  The hippos were the big hit of the day, well that and climbing in and out of the stroller. 
 


Monday we loaded up after breakfast and headed out to the farm to pick strawberries.  Max is always up for fruit picking of any sort -  after all it means that he gets to ride on the tractor.  In fact he was curious about why the tractor had such huge wheels in the back, so we asked the driver.  I think he just made up an answer, but Max was excited about it.


As is often the case, Will was the life of the berry picking party.  He just kept launching his spunky little self over one row of plants and then another.  Unfortunately, there were a few strawberry plant casualties from his antics.  But he was so darn proud of the berries that he picked!  You can't help but laugh when this little man is around. 

 
And then there was Jack, sweet little berry eating Jack.  He just plopped his cute little tush in the middle of two rows of plants and chowed down on any and every strawberry handed to him.  He loved it and I loved watching him enjoy it!  I am a bit sad that I don't think that cute little romper will ever be the same.
