In our first full week of summer we enjoyed a more relaxed routine along with a few adventures! Our first adventure was the zoo! During the school year we just don't seem to get up there as much as we would like because of our busy schedule, so it was very fun to spend a morning there!
Olivia enjoyed her up close and personal view of the Fennel Foxes!
One of the animals we rarely see on our zoo visits is the Channel Island Fox. It always is just hard to find! On the day we went not only did we see it, but a also a volunteer was outside the exhibit answering questions and allowing visitors to touch a real fox fur! One nice thing about going to the zoo somewhat regularly is seeing different animals be more active on different visits! The leopard was also pacing around and climbing trees, which was very fun to watch!
Last Thursday afternoon both kids were awarded their senior green belts in TKD! They had each taken a test the previous Saturday and passed!
Our second big adventure was a trip to the farm to do some blueberry picking! It's always one of my favorite activities to do with the kids, and it has become a June tradition!
As with most things in this season of life, I knew the older two kids would be fine, but Olivia was the wild card! She surprised us all and actually did a great job picking blueberries! She picked ripe berries, had fun, and even though her attention span was not as long as the rest of ours, she walked around and played near the rest of us while we finished picking!
My experience pickers! We were determined to pick enough blueberries to make a pie as well as have some to just snack on for a few days!
One final picture! The other day is was all too quiet and I could not find the younger two kids! They had both climbed in Olivia's crib with the iPad and were watching a show on PBS! Crazy kids!
