Our Weekend

Our weekend started out with a lovely party for the girls friend Abby who turned four.  Grace and Abby have been the best of friends since they were 8 weeks old.  Now, if only Miss Em had not been so crabby, she and I could have stayed and enjoyed all the fun.  The poor little has not been her normal happy-go-lucky self lately. Not sure what is going on, but I do hope that whatever it is passes soon. 






We were supposed to attend a second party after naptime for the girls' friends Faith and Hope, but due to Emma's crabby mood we decided to decline.  We were sad to miss out since the girls adore them and don't get to see them as much as they used to, but there was not way I could bring a crabby toddler to a party.  Grace and Faith have been friends since Sarah and I were pregnant with them (and due a day apart)!  So, since we were missing the party, and Dave was at the Red Sox game, we were in need of something yummy for dinner.  We headed out, got some dinner and then went to Berlin Farms for some ice cream and a visit to the animals. 



Nothing says Sunday Morning like a family pillow fight!  Now, if only I had my camera near by to document this wonderful beginning to our day!  Dave then had to head in to work for a bit so we decided that breakfast out was in order, along with an adventure afterward for the girls and I.  
It was an most perfectly beautiful Sunday and we were thrilled to discover that Drumlin Farm opened at 9:00am!




A little lunch time fun with food topped off our a fun filled, joy filled day.  And in case you were wondering, those are Shiro Plums that I pitted that they are putting on their fingers. 


We hope that your weekend was full of wonder, fun and joy and lots of time spent with those you love the most!

Ice Cream for Dinner

After naptime yesterday the girls an I went to Berlin Farms (formerly Berlin Orchards).  This was one of my most favorite places when I first moved up here over ten years ago.  I would go, and instantly feel like I was back home. It reminded me so much of life in Bethany, which was comforting since I was newly out of college and far from home.

Berlin Orchards used to be a very hopping place, and then when it changed hands and names it changed too.  The crowds left, and the new owner was left trying to fix the place up and keep it running.  An article in Edible Boston magazine last month was all about Berlin Farms, and so I thought it would be fun to go and see what they were up to over there.



"Mama, I want to ride horses."







Since we were there and the ice cream window was open, 
the three of us agreed that ice cream was definitely in order for dinner.






Good things are definitely happening at Berlin Farms.  The ice cream was as generous and as delicious as I remembered it to be.  The girls and I are looking forward to many more visits.  We hope that those of you who are local will support this wonderful place, if for no other reason than to have ice cream for dinner.

Sleep well, dear ones.
We'll see you tomorrow.
