Strawberry Picking!

We went to the Hall Family Farm to pick some strawberries.  The kids weren't too interested in the other activities the farm had...they just wanted to pick strawberries.  haha.
Isak tried out the tricycle.  When we went in the fall Kira loved the tricycle, but this time she wouldn't even touch it.

And we are off to pick some strawberries...watch out!
They got right into it.


My pic with the kids.

Nels and the kids.
And our obligatory selfie.
Isak showing me the strawberry he picked.

I love when they are nice to each other and can stand to be within a few inches of each other.  :)
I thought it was cute how they followed each other around carrying the basket.

Kira leading.
Isak leading...see, they even took turns.  :)

It was a fun and yummy day picking strawberries.  And the fresh strawberry shakes Nels made were delicious!

Strawberry Festival in Fort Mill, SC

I love May.  The weather is nice and the strawberries are in season!  We took advantage of the Strawberry Festival in Fort Mill, SC.  We started out with an all you can eat strawberry pancake breakfast.  Mmmm good!
Kira wasn't too excited about it, but as you can see Isak was getting into it...he even had seconds.



Then we headed over to the festival and climbed into an Ambulance.  Hopefully we never have to ride in one of these for real.  But it was interesting to check out.


There were little activities for the kids to do.  They got doctor hats and played with sidewalk chalk for a bit.
Kira found her purple chalk and was concentrating very hard on drawing.
Then we got free helmets for the kids and did the bike course.  Nels was very attentive to little Kira's first bike ride.
Isak and I took a selfie while we waited for our turn.
He tried to help her pedal.
She was pretty thrilled with the experience.
There's me and Isak making our way around the track.
We checked out the cool car show.
Light blue was a popular color this year.

And Nels asked me to take his picture with this car.  haha.  He is so funny.  He just loves cars so much!
There were lots of vendors for food and crafts and desserts.  We bought some bbq sandwiches and a hot dog for the kids.  That's about all.  We had fun just being together as a family and celebrating Strawberries.

Wrapping up April, Finally!

We had so many outings in April that I don't have a lot of little moments or random pictures.  But here is what we do have...

We bought the kids sunglasses.  They picked out their own and love them.  They wanted to wear them all of the time and I finally had to make a rule to only wear them outside.  So this is before the rule...Kira...Hot Pink of course.
Isak with red ones and they have cars on the side. Love the Pucker I-Man!
Running around in their diapers and then they decide to climb into the rocking chair together.  I thought it was adorable!
Snuggling with kids for a minute and watching a show....Yep, I feel as tired as I look.
This picture just makes me laugh.  Isak with his socks and no pants on, just walking around.  Mischievous little boy if you ask me and definitely lovable!
Working on their block stacking skills.
Isak found Mr. Potato head's glasses and decided he needed to wear them with the bunny ears.  hahaha.
Kira with her bunny ears reading a book.
Playing with play dough during General Conference.
Isak took over Kira's stroller to move around some personal items.
Oh and he needed to carry a bag of stuff too.
They escaped outside in their pj's...Love the Southern weather!
And that my friends, is the end of April!
