MOTHER'S DAY 2011

I had a wonderful mother's day once again. We attempted to go strawberry picking this year to continue our tradition for the past 3 years. The farm we usually go to was shut down this year b/c a neighboring farm's pesticides blew over into theirs and killed all their strawberries. So after a nice lunch at Fulin's we hauled ourselves up to Portland only to find the strawberry picking was closed on Sunday! ARRHH! We could not break tradition so we picked/stole a few strawberries (see, I'm confessing my sins to ya'll)

Too bad the law didn't understand...
And if that wasn't enough...
No, luckily we did not get in trouble from the strawberry picking and found that the farm also had a little "ghost town" with some other activities to keep us busy and make up for the long drive up there. I did think the above picture was a good rendition of time out.

They had a huge, very bumpy slide that kept us busy...
They also had goats which Kaleb had a blast feeding grass until he was leaning over to pick some grass and one bit him in the butt. Ha!
Chase wasn't sure what to think of the slide. He had that overstimulated blank stare on his face for a while.
We finished the day on the farm with some delicious ice cream.

I am so blessed to be the mother of these two beautiful boys and look forward to many more strawberry pickin' mother's days.
