Happy Father’s Day!

This morning, we went to Johson’s Corner Farm with the kids for cherry and blueberry picking.  As was to be expected, they had a blast.  We took the hayride out to cherry-picking and then on to the blueberries.  The kids each took their little pint containers and picked off berries one at a time.  At one point, I told Josiah we needed to dump his back into our box so he could have room for more.  Having only registered part of what I said, he promptly dumped his container (fortunately it was only 1/4 full at the time) on the ground and went to pick more!

We took a few pictures while we were out:

The big kids got ice cream cones and had a blast:

 

 

The toe injury:

So yesterday (Saturday), we were at a park and Lilly decided to take off her socks and shoes while playing.  In hind sight, clearly we shouldn’t have let her do that.  She was going down the slide and somehow managed to slice the bottom of her one toe (picture from tonight, 24 hours later):

It was bloody for quite a while at the park – blood on my pants/legs/shoes, dripped down the side of the car and the trunk, etc.  We got her cleaned up thanks to the TWO first aid kits we had in the trunk.  In the car on the way to the park, Bethany and I had literally just talked about how glad we were to have the first aid kit with us when we’re out like that.  (We strongly recommend the $20 “First Aid Only – Essentials” kit)

Lilly was great about it all – she was obviously sad and in pain but she was cooperative and went on to enjoy the rest of the day.  We still feel so bad for her!

 

These are some videos we have from a month ago that I haven’t posted yet!

Josiah likes Peanut Butter on his sandwich but not “Gelly” as he’ll make clear.  The eyebrow action from him helps make his point!

 

 

Before Michelle & Tim’s wedding weekend, Grampy and Granny Phyllis were in town for a few days and came by to see the kids a few times.  The kids were excited to see them:
