Today was our last full day at the Acreage. After snuggles with Reese on the couch and a yummy breakfast we made our way out to the garden to pick the strawberries. Mom and I picked the whole patch and ended up with a nice sized bucket full.
I brought my side-kick along since he had just woken from his nap. He tried to eat some strawberries but ended up throwing them on the ground instead.
We didn't pick on Sunday so there were a lot of juicy berries that were ready to be picked!
Once we finished we went into the greenhouse to help finish watering. The bees were buzzing up a storm flying from flower to flower.
It's no wonder everything grows so well in there!
Dad's tomatoe plants are almost as tall as me and have nice, round tomatoes on them. It takes Dad 45 minutes to water the greenhouse each morning. He's done a lot of research and has quite the green thumb.
Just this morning we got a basket full of cucumbers for pickling, a whole bucket of strawberries, saskatoons, and rhubarb.
Absolutely scrumptious!
Camilla really wanted to celebrate her birthday with Gramma and Grampa before we went home. She requested another trip to the lake. It was overcast and rainy, but we managed to get out between thunderstorms and let the kids go for a little swim.
The weather was perfect.
This boy sat on my lap for a little while before taking off toward the water.
They were loving their new squirt guns!
When it was time to go I rinsed our boy off in the lake and put him in a fresh diaper.
We got home before the rain began and enjoyed a BBQ.
And presents...
And cake...
The
girl was pretty excited about the sparkler on her cake! She is such a
wonderful little girl with such a sweet heart (more about that
tomorrow). After they had their fill of cake, we cleaned up, packed the car, and took off for home. Some of the kids were desperate for their own beds
