A Wirick Weekend

Last week for family night, we came up with a plan for our summer including fun activities we could do together on the weekends.  Tyler had to file a case by Midnight on Saturday, so we had to work around his schedule, but we were able to fit in a movie night (Cars 2 with Jack, Sam, and Mom).  It was 3d and we were the only ones in the theater; probably because the movie started at 9:30 at night.  The kids stayed up until midnight.  Tyler and Logan hung out at home and went to bed on time.  After Tyler had finished his work Saturday, we went to Green Bluff Washington to pick strawberries.  Green bluff is a cool area with a coop of farms.  We go there to pick pumpkins, peaches, and now strawberries.  We will keep our ears open for other fun foods that we can get fresh from the farms.  The farm we ended up at this time was Knapp's.

The drive to the farms is beautiful.  There are rolling hills planted with all sorts of great things.  The farms are off-set with the beautiful Ponderosa pines found in this area.  It smells wonderful.  The actual picking went fast, because I had to remind the boys that we could only eat so many strawberries.  Tyler was the funniest; he could hardly stand to leave any behind.  Each boy had a different personality for picking.  Tyler = pick one, eat one, grin, keep head down and keep picking.  Jack = pick one strawberry from each bush, bounce through the field, declare over and over that he had the most strawberries.  Sam =  look in other peoples buckets to find the best strawberries, and steal them for your own.  Logan = pick and taste, as soon as mom isn't holding on, take off running through the fields as fast as possible.  None of them would stop and let me take a cute picture.  They also LOVED riding the golf carts back to the barn.




Once we were done picking, we stopped to get the big boy's a haircut.  Jack's was growing out, and Sam decided he wanted to get a haircut like Jack's.  He looks so much different to me.
