At the Farm with Grandma

Ned is in Holland for two weeks straight and me and the kids are enjoying what is left of summer in the US. For those of you with little ones, you know how taxing it is to be solo so I recruited some help.

My mom, known as Grandma, came up for an extended labor day weekend. Here are a few pictures from Butternut Farm where we picked blueberries, peaches and plums.

Katie, true to form, was careful and diligent in her picking. Making sure not to pick fruit too green, too firm, too mushy etc.

Andrew, true to form as well, was less precise. Picking green blueberries and eating handfuls, picking up mushy peaches and plums off the ground (!!!) and eating them.

Note: Andrew's hand in the basket of blueberries!

It was a gorgeous New England day and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it.
