We went berry and tomato picking at a nearby organic farm today. I wish I had a picture because it would be worth
way more than 1,000 words.
I hear Madeline saying, "Mom, this is sooo beautiful!" and Lauren saying, "these berries are soooo yummy!" and all I can think is, "this is sooooooooooooooo bloody hot!"
HOT. Really. Flippin'. Hot. That could be because Gabe was - on my back - in the Kelty but even still, I got back in the car and the thermostat read 95 degrees. Now, maybe its just me but you really shouldn't be on a farm, picking anything when its 95 degrees. I honestly stopped and said a prayer for anyone that has to "pick" stuff for a living.
No, I really did.
It was just a laughable moment. Up until the point where Gabriel got stung by a bee. Poor buddy. He picked up (geez, doesn't his Mom watch him??) a bee to "play" with and it stung him right on the thumb. Thank goodness for the goats which distracted him.
So, for future reference, pick a breezy, cool day to take your gaggle out for a day at the farm.
