sprinklers and strawberries

We had a few hot days last week, so on Wednesday afternoon, we got out a sprinkler for Kate.  Aunt Tessa was here to play too, and it was a lot of fun.  Kate didn't get overly wet, but really enjoyed filling up her bucket and dumping it out:)




The neighbors had a sprinkler out the following day, and as soon as Kate saw it, she ran over to join in the fun.  I think the sprinkler will be a favorite summer activity.

Friday, we went strawberry picking with my mom.  Michigan strawberries are seriously the best.  The strawberry patch was pretty busy and it was a hot morning, but with a little help from Kate, we each filled up a box and were on our way.

Kate's basket:)

Kate explored quite a bit; thankfully, she couldn't
get over the rows, so she was pretty contained 

snack break! 

My mom makes the best pie crust EVER, so she and I made two strawberry pies once we got home.  Since Friday, I made a little batch of freezer jam, froze a bunch of whole berries, and froze a few containers of shortcake berries.  I can't wait to eat them!
