POCONOS

Lauren invited us up to her Aunt's Pocono home for Memorial Day weekend. We headed out of here on Saturday morning and made it up the mountains in about 2 hours. Peter was excited to see Lauren and "her vacation house". We went canoeing, played with the dogs in the lake, took the dogs to the dog park, had a BBQ with Lauren's parents, and even squeezed in some yard sales. Jeff really found the trip very relaxing. Peter caught a fish, a small mouth bass. We bought him a Spiderman fishing rod and a Lightening McQueen life jacket. Peter adores Wil, Lauren's boyfriend. We had plans to do our usual game night, but at 8:30, when I put Peter to bed, somehow I fell asleep alongside of him.

Walnut Springs Farm

We took Peter strawberry picking. I envisioned having to pay for all the berries he would be eating as we picked. It was very anti-climatic for him. However, Jeff picked his little heart out. The berries of course were delicious, right off the vine. Jeff made strawberry jam with many of the berries. Peter liked the strawberry slide. This farm is a U-Pick for raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. We also learned that a member of our church owns the farm. It was a nice evening and so very close to home.
