Summer Fun

Paige and I had a lot of fun this summer (poor Jake, had to work...). I picked up an extra job over the summer nannying two kids, Jake and Kaley. Most days, Paige and I would go over to their house and wake them up and take them to school/summer camp. Then in the afternoons we'd pick them up and stay with them until their dad got home.

Some days they spent the whole day with us and we did some fun things, like go to a splash park or swimming pool. Jake and Kaley were great with Paige and loved playing with her.

We also did a lot of fun things with our friends. Here's the gang at a splash park:

Blueberry Picking

Paige and I went with Michelle and Gabbi up to Homestead Farms (a farm in Maryland that we've been to before) to go berry picking. We had a blast. We rode a tractor out to the berry fields:

Paige absolutely loved the tractor and spent the rest of the time at the farm trying to chase after it to ride it again.

The farmer taught us how to identify a good blueberry (the bigger it is, the better it will taste) and we went to work.

Paige quickly realized that blueberries were delicious, and instead of putting them in the bag she shoved them by the handful into her mouth.

After picking the blueberries we went and looked at the animals.

Gabbi was a pro at feeding the goats. She knew to pick up the food and feed the animals. It was definitely a day that put a smile on Paige's face.

We had a great day that ended with Paige and Gabbi falling asleep on the drive home.

It was a great day!
