However, a few things have happened to throw my schedule off-kilter. As in WAY off kilter. Well, for one thing, the move happened. I know this for sure, I won't be planning another move for oh... about 10 years or so. At least, until the pain from this move have subsided. Of course, the kids are off school as well and that means more time playing. It's fun, but it's definitely more about the kids than anything else. Finally, and this is the best reason, my parents are visiting! I love that my parents are in town. They travel long distances to be with us, and so it made sense for them to stay a while. They will be with us for another few weeks, and it has been the BEST! I love that they get to spend time with their grandkids, and that they get to see the new house.
Last week, we got our act together, and carted every out for strawberry picking. My parents have never been, and I think they really enjoyed it.
Mr. Su demonstrating his superb berry picking panache.
My mum was well-thought out enough to bring some water to wash those berries for the kids to munch on. Left to my own devices, I think I may have just let them eat the berries off the vine. My mum, she thinks ahead.
My dad, showing some serious flexibility for a "senior citizen" (his words, not mine). Hey, are mum and dad wearing color-coordinated tops? Cute!
The little girl spent more time eating than picking.
The bigger girl spent most of her time avoiding bugs. She wasn't feeling well that day, and later, we found out that she had a viral infection that aggravated her asthma. The heatwave that we've been experiencing did not help.
Both kids enjoyed visiting the bunnies, though!
My friends like to tease me about living in the "country" now. In that case, I must certainly seek out more of these "country" adventures!
