Logan: Weekend warrior at the track. 

 You make us so proud, little girl-- you make yourself proud too. I want to bottle up this feeling, so you can have it for always.

My little Logan Greer, happiest outside.

strawberry picking

Today we headed out to our favorite local farm and went strawberry picking. The tractor wagon took us out to the wet, marshy, fields where we filled our produce bins with berries, berries, and berries. We were in our sweet [literally] glory. Strawberry scents filled the air, and the sights looked as sweet as they smelled. 

The ground was quite soggy to say the least [yesterday we received 5 inches of rain] but we didn't let that stop us. 

This is one of my favorite early summer traditions we have created with Logan. And I think it's hers too, my sweet red handed berry thief. Sco, Lo, and I are all huge berry enthusiasts, and look forward to picking them fresh and local every year.

Any early summer traditions?
Any strawberry recipes?
All are welcomed :]

Logan: Hot days on the beach end perfectly when a soft serve chocolate and vanilla twist with rainbow sprinkles in involved. The perfect ending to a perfect day.

to the beach--

 

Today we took our first [bathing suit] beach trip of the season. The day was perfect. It was a notacloudinthesky kind of day, and we soaked up every bit of it. Just when we got too hot, a chilled breeze came rolling in with the waves and cooled us down. 

We ate pizza, spent hours on the sand, got our toes [barely] wet-- freeeeezing was the water, rode the merry-go-round, and came home with sun kissed cheeks.

Logan and Daddy were the cutest pair, while they searched for "treasure" [Lo's most favorite thing to do. Ever.]

Tomorrow, Scott starts a new job, so this was his official last opportunity for any impromptu weekday adventures. We are bummed, but excited about the new opportunity.

Happy June!
