Tired of my trip already?! I told you there would be some quick fire posting going on! This is the last one about our trip...promise!

On Friday night we went out to the Avery's house and they had a bonfire going when we got there. So we roasted marshmallows and tried to keep Hyrum out of the fire.

Hyrum was ALL ABOUT the marshmallows. He had it EVERYWHERE!!

His cousins were even nice enough to let him ride their bikes.
Of course he didn't go anywhere without them pushing him...he couldn't reach the peddles but he loved it anyway.


The next morning we headed off to the blueberry patch to do some blueberry picking. Thanks again Saroya Jaliegh and Ethan for taking such good care of Hyrum.
Hyrum even got a bucket of his own. It was his first time picking at a U-pick place.









Of course anything that went in that bucket was promptly eaten.
It was Derek's first time at a U pick farm too. He was a much better picker though.
There is something I just LOVE about family farms. They are just so salt of the earth, honest, trusting and personal. And can I also mention CRAZY cheap! LOVE IT!!!

Then after a quick trip to the farmers market that was closing up we were off to the BEACH!!

It was too cold for us to go in Lake Michigan so we spent most of our time on the river between Lake Michigan and Duck lake.
Derek tried his hand at skim boarding and did pretty well.


Hyrum wanted to do it too. He just wants to do everything his dad and cousins do.
As we left to go back to Grand Rapids Ethan raced us to the property line. He gave us a run for our money!!
We miss you all! Can't wait to see you again!

    That looks like fun. I also love UPick places.

    Thanks for the title idea for my daffodils. You won again. I think you'll like the painting I did today ;)

    I made some more totatoes...were they hotbath processed for 35 minutes? I can't remember, but that's how long I did it.
