Yesterday we got to go with our 3 nephews as well, Jameson, Wesley and Ryan joined us.
This years trip was different from last year, not just that we had all 3 of our nephews with us, but life in general has changed. Last year Ryan and Hailey were being carried in their baby Bjorns. This year they were able to walk and experience the animals. Kyle was more timid this year. Last year he ran after the deer in the deer park and this year he was afraid of them, but it was so cool to see him actually get excited to see some of the animals. It made the zoo a whole new experience for me and Jason.
and PRAY that all four children will behave and eat well, while we have a few cocktails and try to relax.
Afterward we visited Hanson Farm which houses horses and also offers strawberry picking.
and we picked away. The price was a little steep for a small box of strawberry's but can you really put a price on wholesome family fun?
We left just in time, because as we were walking to our car the clouds opened up and the thunder banged with a vengeance!
But overall it was a fun random day with the neighbors and Grandpa Ron got some fresh picked strawberries.
Hobby-wise too. For anyone who does not know Jason; he loves fish! He loves looking at fish, going fishing, taking people fishing and Kyle seems to love it as well. A few months ago while driving we passed a lake and Kyle said "hi fish. bye fish" I thought it was cute..but now I see this love of fish seems to be in the genes. We took a random family day and visited the Wayside Inn where they have a fish pond and you can feed the fish. I thought it would be a fun family day, and soon realized I was observing a true father son bond.
Sad mommy won't pick her up.
