I'm not much of a summer person. The heat makes me cranky. So, besides hiking in a shaded forrest or taking a dip in the lake (or pool) one of my favorite things about summer is all the yummy fruits! Yesterday, the kids and I went strawberry picking with some friends. Sweet Abbey has been waiting for this for over two weeks now. She was up at 5:30 am asking if it was time to go strawberry picking...sigh! After a full day of playing at the water park we ended the day at a local strawberry patch. I think we could have stayed all evening!
I've been hearing the kids ask "Can I have more strawberries, please?" They can't get enough! I'm looking forward to making some jam and perhaps we'll have to go back next week.
Today, I also want to share with you a layout I did for the Scrap and Stamp challenge. I have dropped the ball on the 52 sketches. So, I thought I'd work on a weekly sketch challenge to get the juices flowing again. You can check out the Scrap and Stamp challenge here.
I absolutely adore these pictures of my kids and Grandma. They were taken a few years back. During a quick visit to Wisconsin. We enjoyed some fresh, juicy watermelon at the park. My then 93 year old Grandma plopped down under a tree right next to the kiddos. Love that!
I'm grateful that my kids have had the chance to spend time with her. I have a wonderful memories of visiting my Grandma as a kid (and adult). She will turn 97 this year. The amazing thing is she still lives on her own! It would be nice to see her again.
