Picking strawberries

The kids have been out of school for a week now. I am doing my best to keep them outside while the weather in nice. We went to the park couple of times this week. We went to a strawberry farm, with our neighbor April and her son Caleb (who is Hadley's age) to pick our own strawberries. Hadley didn't do much besides sit in the stroller taste testing . Between Madison and Kira we came home with a little more then 6 pounds.  They taste so much better then buying them from the store. Looks like we will be picking our own the rest of the summer!!  Now then fun part is figuring out what to do with them


We also went to the park so Hadley could play and have lunch.. She is so funny she loves to just run around carrying handfuls of wood chips. She kept losing her hat and this little girl was chasing her trying to put it on her head. It was so funny to watch. Hadley is such a social butterfly. She loves when the big kids chase her.

Today at the park

Today is day 2 of summer break for my kids. I can tell they are already getting bored. Madison has spent most of her time working on a puzzle of New York City. Kira has already finished a 260 page book, and has started on another.  Hadley really likes playing outside, so I decided to go to the park and have a picnic. I have been many times with Hadley and there are always other kids there. 

All the moms I have met have been very nice, until today. It was a play group of about 6 moms. They just seemed very stuck up like they were better then everyone else. It was just weird. Their kids on the other hand were throwing sand and wood chips, running up the slide while kids were trying to come down pushing little ones out of the way, etc, etc.  And that's not what bothered me the most, it was that the moms that said nothing. They just stood there like they were doing nothing wrong.

Now I'm not saying my kids do nothing wrong, but when they do, they are corrected. Kira tried to run up the slide, she was told "no." I really don't want Hadley trying to do and get hurt. Slides are for sliding down, not running up.

Hopefully the next time we go it will be better, I don't like to leave someone my kids are having fun because mom's don't control their kids.
