Strawberry Patch

Our first time strawberry picking!!! We had a blast meeting the Moms group out to pick a bunch of strawberries. The farmer assigned us a row and we went at it! It was a very hot day and the kids had a blast! Tapanga ate a few bites here and there even though I tried my best at showing them how to pick them (only the red ones) and put them in our bucket! We didn't pick long and decided to spread out our picnic blanket and enjoy our treats!

IL trip May 2013

Kentucky Derby

Kentucky Celebration

The kids did so well in the 12 hour car ride to Tammy's graduation!  This was Tank's first big trip in the car long distance completely potty trained!  Not one accident!!  We spend three nights in KY with Aunt  Laura and Uncle Kevin celebrating Tammy's PHD graduation!  The rest of the family met us there for lots of fun activities for the weekend!  Sunday we drove to IL for spend the next week at Na Na's and Paca's!   It was a treat to spend time with Aunt Trysta, Aunt Tam and Eric for a few more days!!  Tank helped with the horses several mornings!  Tapanga was very excited meeting all the horses again and she loved the barn cat!  She has no fear when it comes to animals.  Tank rode Cherry the pony for the first time!!  He also rode the ponies at Keeneland and didn't want to get off.  I think the difference was those ponies were smaller as well as it was a western saddle.  I had a great Mother's Day with my mom!
