Strawberry Day 06/14/14

Today was Strawberry Day at this house.   We all got up and went to get Brenden and I's hair cut.  Again Brenden surprised us.   Each time he seems to be getting better and better.   I'm glad since this is something he is going to have to do for the rest of his life.

Then Brenden and I ventured to Way's Fruit Farm for Strawberry picking.  We met our great friends, Jill, Nate and Ally there.   While Jill and Nate finished up I got to take precious little Ally with Brenden and I to the corn box.   Look at that sweet little face...

Boys just being boys, enjoying the double swing.   This seemed more like a highlight for both of them than picking all those strawberries. 

Later in the day Brenden and I got to pick up Nate to give Jill a little bit of a break.  I heard she got a nap.  I'm so jealous.   We picked up Nate to go to the Strawberry Festival in Lemont.   I think the boys had fun..

Love that face.   Brenden was to busy going down the slide to eat.  He did finally eat a few strawberries once I mentioned the train ride. 

 Finally our turn.   The boys got very anxious waiting but they were so excited to take the ride once it was their time.   This little train was cruising.

Then we all waited and waited for the ponies.  The boys kept asking where the ponies were.   They finally showed up about a 1/2 hour late.  The boys were busy though running, playing tag, and playing on my phone.  Here are the boys on their ponies.....

Nate doesn't look too happy.  Brenden on the other hand was so happy and smiling from ear to ear.   He wanted a second ride.   I decided to be nice and let him have a second ride.  Nate, not so much.  he was a happy little kid playing on my phone.  Both boys were exhausted and ready to go after the ponies. 

All and all, it was a great day.  I asked Brenden and Nate what the best part of the day was and both of them said, pony poop.   Yes one of the ponies took a poop and they both thought that was the funniest thing ever.   They also said that ponies poop a big pile.    Gotta love boys!

Thank you Jill for letting me borrow Nate this afternoon.  Brenden loves being with him and they do get along so well.
