Summer in
Whidbey is amazing and we definitely have been taking advantage of everything that the Northwest has to offer!!! The kids have been enjoying hanging out with their friends and doing what
boyz do best..... being
boyz!!
Hangin' with Bryce at his pool!!!
ICE CREAM!!! ICE CREAM!!! WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!
Last week we headed over to Burlington with Bryce and his Mama for some good ol' fashion berry picking! The farm was great... not only did it have the best berries but it had tons of things for the boyz to do.... Check out Coop and his new ride!
I am not trying to brag but Connor is pretty much the best berry picker ever!!! He definitely has my competitive personality... he kept saying, " Mama, look at all the strawberries I picked, I have the MOST!!!" What can I say you gotta teach them young!
Of course there is a system to berry picking.....pick a berry, eat a berry, pick a berry... Connor and Cooper definitely mastered that!
Cooper found it a little easier to just sit in the middle of the patch!
By the time we reached the raspberries he had regained his energy and was back to picking!
I knew exactly what he was thinking as he went for my bucket.....but how can you say no to that face!!!
After we were done picking the berries it was time to enjoy the farm! The kids went on a barrel ride that was pulled around by a tractor!!
After a long morning of picking berries it was time for some relaxation while eating homemade strawberry shortcakes!!
Cooper decided to eat by himself....I am sure he figured if he ate by himself then he wouldn't have to share - smart kid!
We have officially entered crabbing season!! Our friends have a boat and pots for the summer so we have joined in the adventure! They had dropped and baited the pots earlier that morning so we took the boys out on the boat to pick up the pots!!
Our ride!!
Connor taking the wheel!
JACKPOT!!
Unfortunately someone had taken the crabs from our other pot but we were still able to get nine crabs out of the trip!
My captain!!
Cooper wasn't a big fan of the boat as he kept asking if we were sinking....he stayed close to Daddy the whole way home!
The summer isn't over yet and I know that there are many more Barton adventures that await us.... I can't wait!!
