Picking Sweetness

Today was filled with joy. My father was visiting for a night, and the kids love grandpa! We also had several opportunities to help those in need around us, which always brightens a day! And we got to spend the day as a family. (Happy Labor Day!) Those are my favorite kinds of days.

We decided to spend the day at a berry picking farm. We showed the kids where food ACTUALLY comes from. With a lot of our time going toward adoption, we didn't have a chance to plant a garden this year like we normally do. This was different and fun, and it showed them how expansive gardening can be!

Kailand picking raspberries

 

Kailand found a very large grasshopper, and
he's just so pleased with himself!

 

 Jason and Seth were a great team.

When Kailand and Seth grabbed hands in their excitement to pick strawberries, my heart melted. 

I love every opportunity to share a new experience with my family, all of us together. Seth and Kailand would often be completely under a vine or bush as we picked various fruits, trying to find all the hidden treasures.

Life is wonderful. Today was proof.
