Happy 4th of July 2013

We spent this 4th of July at the lake house and had such a fun time! Next year, we'll get to stay for the fireworks!!

We went boating!!

and Golf Carting!!

Ran wild and free!!

and played silly games with Grandma

Summer Park Fun

We went to a really big park near the town's landfill where we played, climbed ropes, slid down slides and met random friends.

 Kate, Elle, Allison and Kate 

 The coolest slide. Even Mommy went down super fast!

 Look Momma, It's the dump!

First Movie for Allison!!

We finally got Allison to the movie theater. Jake and I took her to see Monsters University and she loved it. We had been prepping weeks before by watching the sequel, Monsters Inc. What great timing! Disney channel marketing team really knows what they are doing.  She loved it (so did we!) and stayed put throughout the entire movie. Can't wait to go again one day!

All Hail the Queen Sisters

Violet, you're turnin' violet, Violet!

We went on another berry picking adventure recently. This time with Daddy and this time, blueberries.
It's berry season and nothing is better than fresh picked berries! We even met the farmer's daughter who got real chummy with us and gave me her blueberry muffin recipe!

 Kate's basket was always empty because she picked and ate!

 Gorgeous organic blueberries. mmmmm

3 pounds of blueberries and blueberry muffins! YUMMY!

Berry Picking

While daddy is in Nola, the girls and I spent the morning at the Berry Farm. We went to pick berries but didn't expect all the surprises of seeing real farm animals free ranging! It was awesome!

Bountiful Blackberries
