Sunday was the longest day ever. Get very comfortable.
Mark got up first thing in the morning to go for a bike ride while I got ready for church. When Mark got home from his ride, we reviewed everything we wanted to get done. Church got scratched (next week!), and we headed to Northboro for...
Strawberries!
It was early enough in the season that the plants were still full and the crowds were thin. It was great.
Frances and Mark did most of the picking while I nursed Chandler while sitting on an irrigation pipe. I have never been so at peace sitting on an irrigation pipe, but nursing one kid and watching the other pick strawberries is hard to beat.
Chandler did get to experience picking a little, but she did not enjoy it. I'm assuming all that moving up and down with a full belly wasn't comfortable.
After picking, we headed over to the farm stand to mingle with the goats. Frances had a great time picking grass for the best-looking goats you ever saw. These goats have it good; kids feed them all day long.
Chandler didn't get to feed the goats, but she did watch her sister in earnest.
Sometimes she was less earnest than others.
After a hair cut for Mark, we headed to a local pond to throw rocks and....
...try out Frances's new bike!
She didn't just burn rubber, but she stayed upright and enjoyed herself, so I'm going to count it as a success.
Then we went home and some of us did this:
Finally, Mark and Frances made homemade strawberry shortcakes.
It was one of those days I was happy to be
Frances is prettier and prettier!
