Trip to Smolak Farms

Yesterday morning we had an impromptu trip out to one of our favorite farms to pick some fresh strawberries and raspberries. It ended up being a pretty large group comprised of my Stoneham friends as well as a couple of my church friends. Everyone had a blast. We always go apple picking in the fall, but this was the first time we had gone out there in the summer. It was as gorgeous as ever. Everything was super green and alive. Claire and I drove together and got lost which is pretty much par for the course with us. We still made it in time to have lots of fun, but the babies had to miss their naps. Lennon did really well despite missing his nap. We ended up with a whole bunch of delicious fresh picked fruit!

Beautiful raspberries


Mia read a book about how every little girl can be a princess the night before and it mentioned that they should always dress beautifully, so she wanted to wear her flower girl dress from Kelsey and Bethany's wedding. We compromised on this $7 salvation army dress that is just as fancy.

Mateus and Mia posing on a tractor in the playground. I think the way he is looking down at her is so sweet.

Lennon's hands got so tickled by the animals.

Mia reminds me of her mother - flower girl dress and boots :)

I can't remember my user name or password. So, you have to know - this is Gaga.
