Pickin' and A Grinnin'

Taking a break from pickin'

chasing each other!
Some of you might have seen Josies' blog and Jaimes' blog about their weekend past and know some of my story. Well here is my version and some different pictures. (Side note: I think it is neat how everyone sees the same thing but differently.)
Last Friday we were blessed to be invited by a friend to her father's fruit farm. We had a blast despite having to rise early! The harvest was plentiful but the workers were few, okay so not many wanted to get up early to get free fruit...go figure.

We had fun picking the various fruits while having some breaks in between...for a preggers I felt like it was a good mix. Audrey ended but running the rows with her friends, especially Hunter, the future Fruit farmer!

Then after we got home, washed and packed we headed to Beaver's Bend, OK with the Hampers and Rineharts. It was sure nice to have a cabin that was airconditioned and very amenable. There was a pond behind the cabin that the kids and dads enjoyed skipping rocks at.

Mr. H brought his pellet gun that the Dads very much enjoyed and they all started perfecting their aim.


On Saturday we Paddle Boated (which was pretty difficult with a preggo, and a 2 year old on Matthew's lap) and enjoyed being on the river. The water was so cold that you could not just jump in because of frost bite. However we did enjoy time in the water and at the "beach" area.
Waiting to go home!

The food was wonderful and the company was great. It was nice to have times of activity and times rest. Thanks fellow cabiners for the great weekend!

Great pictures! I love the one of Audrey on the ground smiling up at the camera. She has such a sweet smile! Someday I'll post Beaver's Bend pics... :-)

Wow...you are brave! I can't imagine getting in a canoe with only one month to go! I'm sorry I missed your shower. Faber was working all day, and we missed church thanks to G man recovering from hand foot and mouth. I have a gift for you and will leave it in the nursery for you next week! Have a great week! Hang in there;)
