The berry best babes

We had such a great day!  From strawberry picking, to busting out the kiddie pool, we spent the whole day outside.  Kira took her first dip in the kiddie pool that daddy filled with warm water from the sink.  Max dove into the pool, which he pretended was chocolate, while be pretended to be Gusty.  The Willy Wonka fixation continues; now if Max could only find a golden ticket.

Pool for two

Of course Kira likes the pool!  She likes the bath...and pretty much everything else in the world with the exception of avacado.



Max kept asking, "Is it summer yet?"

"Mommy! Say Gusty don't fall in the chocolate!"

Homemade "bubble pool" (hot tub)

Water hoops

Kira was blowing raspberries at the strawberry patch.  She was the sweetest little trooper after an abbreviated morning nap.

Max had some turkey jerk to wash down the bucket of strawberries he ate, pre-bucket (and pre-payment).

We only had to hike a million miles back to the bathroom three times.  Max could not understand why he could not just pee in the woods like a bear.  And by woods, he meant strawberry plants.

After learning that you should not put the green strawberries in your bucket, Max plucked them off the plants and threw them.  Great interpretation of the rules.

Of course Max can hoist up his bucket; it is practically empty!  All the berries are in his belly.  He had a lot of fun with Kate!


"Mommy, bite the green part off"
