This was a fun trip because I had done the same thing when I was around Jane's age and my brother Jacob was around Malcolm's age!

bubbles!

We have all kinds of bubbles from various events and birthday parties, but I found that the ones that work the best came free from the library. The kids get them each summer when they read a good amount of books.

strawberry picking

Jane and Malcolm did a great job picking strawberries! Malcolm was a good helper to me and Jane picked her own quart. We went with our friends Jacob and Eliana, and we got to visit with the farm cat.
