Berry pickin'.

Last week Mason, Arlo, & I headed down to Rocky Creek Farm to pick strawberries. I'm totally in love with the farm. We were there last year to pick pumpkins & I hear they have Christmas trees that you can cut down during the winter. 

Arlo hung out in the baby wrap while Mase & I searched for strawberries. He didn't like me bending down to pick the berries so I let Mason do most of the picking. 

After we filled our containers we took them to the little farm store to be weighed, then we headed home. 

I had planned on making jam but I started eating too many of the berries. Couldn't help it, they were the tastiest berries I've ever had. 

I unloaded Mase, put Arlo in the wrap & then find out that I needed to drive to the back of the farm. 

Safety first...

Prettiest farm. 

Searching for berries. 

He did good. 

Proudest 3-year-old. 

Driving over the cute bridge to get to the farm. 

Later that night we stopped by the river, of course. 

Utah Bound.

Last week Tyson had me check in with my sister to find out when she was heading home to Hawaii. She let us know it was her last weekend in Utah & 4 days later we were in the car for a last minute roadtrip to see her. No one else knew we were coming until we made it to the Utah border. Surprise! It was non-stop family time the rest of the weekend. 

Tyson was thrilled. Thrilled. 

Pres couldn't wait to see the cousins.

Boyfriend picked some wildflowers for me by the Gallatin River. 

It was so good to see family, but we definitely did not miss the red "smogsets" & construction. ;) 

Until next time, Utah. 

We like the river.

A few times a week the boys tolerate my love for long drives. We pack up & drive around the valley & end up at the river. We went to a perfect spot for swimming the other night. Arlo & I played on the beach while the big boys got wet. 

In Montana the winters are long & the summers are short so we're enjoying every chance we get to play outside.
