Fun Saturday

After big sister K's dance class today, we promised the kids we'd take them strawberry picking.  We decided to try a new farm in Plainsboro called Stults Farm.  To our dismay, we found out they didn't have any pick-your-own strawberries when we got there (despite what it said on their website... and we did try calling before making the drive there, but only got their voice-mail).

Since we were near Princeton already and the kids were napping in the backseat, we decided to drive a little further to Terhune Orchards in Lawrenceville where we knew did have pick-your-own strawberries... but lo and behold, we were faced with another disappointment!  Apparently too many people came the weekends before and had destroyed the crop, so they no longer opened it for pick-your-own with what's left.  No strawberry-picking, but the kids still managed to have fun at the farm.

After the farm, we went to a playground near home (baby M had been wanting to go all day). There were two girls around baby sister K's age playing with each other.  At one point, big sister K heard them say "Frozen."  Instantly, she goes up to them and asks if she could play with them. I was a little surprised (though pleasantly so) that she was so assertive.  My little girl is definitely not shy anymore!

When we got home, the kids still hadn't had their fill of the outdoors, so we went back out and hung around the front of the house.  Big sister K drew with her sidewalk chalk all over the ground while baby M rode his tricycle in circles around the driveway until dinner time.  I love weekends like this... so this is why we moved to the burbs.
