On Tuesday, we went berry picking. Neither Amelia nor I had ever picked strawberries before, but we were ready for action. We had our hats, our buckets, and our old clothes on.
There were so many rows and so many berries. Thank goodness we only had 2 buckets to fill.
Of course, you can't pick berries without eating a few (or more than a few, in Amelia's case).
But we did it, we filled our 2 buckets (with Ken's help) and still had smiles on our faces.
Apparently the berry picking and lack of naps caught up with Amelia. She took such a long nap in the morning, that we didn't have time to go hiking. So instead, we spent some good quality time with Ken's Mom and step-Dad, which included going shopping at Wal-Mart. Usually I put Amelia in a cart, but knowing that we had a long drive home afterwards, we just let Amelia run around the store. She loved the mirror section of the store. They were just her height.
And she thought the bike section was pretty cool too. Even better when Mom let her ride around on one. (Sorry for the un-rotated picture . . . I'm not sure why it went that direction, but I can't get it to rotate back.)
We had a great weekend with family and did almost everything we had planned. Ken and Grandpa were able to spend time and play with Amelia, while Mommy got some much needed rest (and a break from taking care of Amelia full-time). After a long drive home and a good night's sleep, we were all happy to return to the jobs we love.
