Strawberry Pickin'

It's the time of year in Northern Minnesota when the strawberry fields are ripe for the pickin'. There is a pick-your-own farm about 20 miles outside of Duluth that we decided to check out on Sunday. Apparently, the folks around here take their strawberry picking pretty seriously...big straw hats...knee pads...giant buckets. We were amateurs to say the least. Anyway, once Sheinah figured out that she was allowed to eat all the strawberries she saw, she had a blast. We would help her pick the strawberry and then it would go right into her mouth and she would say "more please." Needless to say, she was a bit red when we left.

So good at sharing...

Notice how pink her hands and shirt are...yep...they are still soaking in OxyClean...

Carnival

A small carnival comes to town every year for the Fourth of July. We decided to check it out and see if Sheinah would go on any rides. Just in case you were wondering...she DID go on the rides...and she DID NOT want to get off :) Thus, in hind sight, this was probably not our smartest parenting decision since it cost a fortune to ride the carnival rides. Since Travis is a wee bit large to ride the kiddy rides, Melissa got to fly the helicopter and ride the train with Sheinah. Check out the pictures:
