I stayed at mom and dads for a couple of days and a night to pick strawberries. I had that done in a couple of hours and then enjoyed weeding a hill and talking with mom for the rest of the time. Anni thought it was pretty great to have an at-demand independent food source:
Meanwhile, Nolan worked on building a raft - one to float on it's own, not to hold anyone up:
And he and Abram and Pace also canoed with cousins:
We got busy making strawberry jam as soon as we got home:

WHY are all the pictures turning side-ways?!??:
We buy swimming passes every year and go swimming A LOT. Well I should say that Nolan, Isabelle and Abram go a lot. I take Pace and Anni at least once a week -because I have to keep a close eye on them, and Shawn only goes a few times:
One of many Sunday walks:
This particular walk was to the water tower, which the boys always beat us to and climb up and race all over it:
my girls:
A walk to a park:
The kids try to save 30% of what they earn, and Nolan had been saving everything for a long time but suddenly had some things he really wanted. He bought a tent and a hammock and a mess kit:
Lots of trips to the library! After this trip, I had to start dinner, but had to sneak a picture of these kids devouring their new books:
