Blueberry farm

We went to Stateline Blueberries on a very warm day.  We strapped on our buckets and headed towards the blueberry bushes. 

And we got to picking!



One hour and a lot of sweating later, we had six pounds of blueberries to take home!

Teeball championship

We were proud to play in the teeball championship game.  Although we lost (for forfeit, having fielded only 7 players), we played hard.



 Afterwards we had a nice picnic in the shade at Shoesmith while waiting for our trophies!


John especially enjoyed the picnic.

Team picture!

It was a very busy morning, as John proved in the car on the very brief drive home.

You guys killed out there today

The girls take the slaughter rule particularly literally at teeball.

It's a joke!  They were popsicles!! Really!

Collaboration

We're willing to share if it means getting into something monkey.

Personal space

“A woman [or man] must have money and a room of her [or his] own if she [or he] is to write fiction."



But we will accept our own private hole on the beach. 

Guess where John's sunblock missed?

Birthday present

I was beside myself to receive a big kid bike for my birthday.  I did not waste a moment hestitating, pretending that I did not know how to use it, or exercising natural caution when it was presented to me.  I jumped on and started pedaling.

Later my sisters clambored for a "real" bike ride, now that they have done away with their training wheels.  Mama and Daddy complied, and leaving me to fuss for the entire ride that I was the only one who did not get to ride a bike. 

The girls rode two and a half miles on the bike path-- not bad!

Sleepy

All that partying can make a boy tired!

I'm three!

Hi there.  John here.  It's my birthday!!

And there is CAKE!
