Summer Outings: May 29-June 2

May 29: We went to Gieringers Orchard today to pick strawberries! Aunt Andrea came with us as well to get our fresh fruit. Andrea and I each stayed at an end of the row we were picking from and William just ran and ran between us, "helping" us pick berries. Andrea and I also enjoyed some strawberry donuts (we gave Will a taste, no worries!). He had a blast!! They have blueberry, blackberry, peach, and tomato picking as well. We will definitely be back!

May 30: On Tuesdays, our local library has Toddler Story Time. We went to library story time when I was on maternity leave (a lifetime ago!). Sitting still is not William's best talent, but he did pretty well. We listened to a story about an elephant and there was event a puppet! On our way out, we picked up a summer reading challenge for William. He will get a certificate if we read enough books this summer, totally doable!

May 31: Anyone know where William is? Peek-A-Boo is a favorite around our house!

June 1: We went into Topeka to pick up our side of beef from Bret's uncle. While we were there, we stopped by Bret's grandparents' house. They just celebrated their 89th and 92nd birthdays and are as feisty as ever! They got out a wooden rocking horse that was made by someone in the family. Apparently all of Bret's mom's siblings rode on it as kids and all of Bret's cousins. It was even at Bret's house in Auburn, KS for a while. I couldn't let this moment pass by without getting William on it!
