Our Trip to Utica

We went to pick strawberries a couple of weeks ago at Ledgend Hills Orchard in Utica, Ohio.  We have been there every summer for the past three years.  It is a really beautiful "Pick Your Own" orchard.  When we got there we were told that strawberries came real early this year and that there weren't very many left.  We decided to give it a shot anyway. 

Grayden got to ride on Daddy's lap up to the strawberry fields.

Not much left.

Even Grayden is looking.

After about an hour of searching for these strawberries we gave up.  We did get about a quart though. 

The trip up there was not a total loss, we found the Velvet Ice Cream Company and the Ye Olde Mill.

This place was great, they had a petting zoo...

Look at that crazy Donkey!

And a  playground...

They had Nature Trails...

And all sorts of other fun stuff...

 For lunch we ate at the Olde Mill Restaurant.  Grayden got to color while we waited for our food...

And when the food arrived Grayden's was in an Ice Cream box!

At the end of the day we were all tired but we had a great time!

  

Our Trip to Tennessee!

Over the Fourth of July we went to Tennessee to visit Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Billy. 

Grayden got to see his first fireworks, and we all had such a great time.

Here are some pictures from the trip.

I can't seem to get the pictures to play in the correct order.  So... instead of throwing the computer out of the window I am just letting it go.  If you want to see them in order click on the slideshow and it will take you to the photobucket account.  :)

Mommy's Little Helper!

We started working on Grayden's room and he wanted to help! 

(check out progress pictures on our other blog: www.theedwardsfamilyproject.blogspot.com)

Anyone see some of the spots in the photos?  Ghosts?? 

If it is... I'm hoping they are the kind that like to help with housework!!!

Weekend Trip

Grayden and I took a little trip to Southern Ohio with some friends of mine. 

Grayden got to swing on his first swing and loved it!

He even got to play on a slide...

After the park we stopped for some dinner, where Grayden had a messy accident and we had to strip him down.  Luckily we were in Southern Ohio and no one thought anything of a baby running around in only a diaper!

One tuckered out little boy!

Grayden's 15 Month Well Visit

Grayden recently had his 15 month well visit appointment.  He checked out well... and we are done with vaccinations until kindergarten!  Yay!!! 

I've been taking pictures of Grayden with Dr. Johnson since his very first appointment.  Stay tuned for a slideshow from birth til now!
