To the Farm when Daddy is Gone

The last weekend of June Jeff took off to go rafting with Brock for his bachelor party and then to Seattle for an AP Psychology training.  He was gone for seven whole days, so we scurried to the farm for the first weekend without him.



It was a quieter weekend at the farm--Katie's family was in Seattle for a soccer tournament and Ben's family was in Warden for the weekend.  So Mom and I took the kids into Moscow on Saturday morning to the Farmer's Market.  They loved playing at the playground, eating the season's first cherries (and an orange roll that Mom and G'ma couldn't resist!) and then they were determined to get special balloons, so they waited...

 ...and waited...

 ...and waited in line.  Finally it was their turn and they chose...

 ...BUTTERFLY HATS!


On the way home, we stopped at Davy's to pick his strawberries.  It was pretty muddy from the week's rain, but that didn't stop JOSH. (Love the crack shot!)



 He was a great picker!

On Sunday we went to church with G'ma and Papa, then we stopped by to see Tom.  He's at home now and hospice is coming in to help.  It was so good to visit with him and Diane.  Dad and I stayed to visit while Mom walked the kids to the park to play.





It was a great way to start out our week without Daddy--we headed home Sunday for the next week of swimming lessons!
