We had some very good friends from Geneva visit the Boston area recently. I mentioned them in a previous post, Andrew and Marian. We originally met in Geneva, but we have all since relocated to the United States. They were in the Boston area visiting family, and it allowed us to all get together a couple of times during the week.
Let me set this up for you....Andrew and Marian have three children four years and under. Combine that with our two "five and unders", and you have potential for chaos!! Despite the numbers, we decided to take all of the kiddies strawberry picking. Now, we did have four adults, since both entire families went on the outing....I think that was the only way we would have had the courage to do it!
I would say that all in all, it was a success. There weren't any temper tantrums or meltdowns. Nobody got hurt or lost. There were more than a few delays getting going, but like I said, it was a success.
I wanted to share some pics from the day. Rebekah ate more than her weight in strawberries, I am certain of it. She just sat in the field and ate and ate and ate. She was stained red from head to toe!
When we got home I used Oxyclean on her clothes (shhhhh....it isn't a P&G product!) and it took out not only the strawberry stains, but the colour too!
Oh, well, I guess she has a new play shirt!
