We were up early, had a quick breakfast, packed up our stuff, and were on our way for today's adventures, nice and early. Today we were meeting out friends Kelly and Jack, and their kids, for a day of strawberry picking and beach fun. So, off to White Bear Lake we went.
First up, strawberry picking. We'd never done it before, so we were really exciting. We got our box, hopped on the tractor, were escorted to our section of the field, and got to work. The girls had such a blast, they thought it was so cool. The strawberries were AMAZING, super delicious, and really cheap too. It was really cheap, low key, family fun...outdoors, taking in new experiences. Nothing better. I've also been trying my hands at photo editing. Definitely not professional by any means, but I think I'm getting better....
Once we were good and sweaty, and all strawberried out, we were on our way. Next stop, the BEACH. We had a picnic together, changed the kids into their swimsuits, and hit the water. The girls were in heaven, having the time of their lives. Running, swimming, dunking their heads, digging in the sand. It felt so great to be in the water. There weren't a ton of people, which was really surprising, so it was peaceful and just a great time. So glad we made this day happen!
The water and sun and fun had the girls beyond exhausted. They fell asleep on the way home, and went down for naps once we were home. We finally had to wake them up around 5:30, and Christian took them over to his parents house. They invited us over for some grilling, but I wanted to get started on some laundry, and rest a little bit. Which, is just what I did. The girls went to bed as soon as they arrived home, and Christian and I weren't far behind. This was a beyond amazing weekend, perfect!
