We were so excited for Grandma and Pops Leon to come visit Memorial Day weekend. They drove up Friday and were happy to see a little girl with a pretend haircut and 3 boys with brand-new haircuts from Daddy. We enjoyed lots of time hanging out around the house enjoying all our neat birds (see our nature blog for more pics) and took them to our favorite hang-out, bird watching, tree-IDing & climbing spot: Sherwood Gardens. James and I got some much appreciated time out alone too (Friday night to Cheesecake Factory for lettuce wraps and cheesecake, Saturday morning a bike ride to the 32nd street Farmer's Market, and Sunday morning a bike ride to/ around Druid Hill Park). James' smoked yummy pork Saturday and Sunday we went to church and then strawberry picking. We picked 45 lbs of strawberries (that's a lot!) The kids did great- the big boys both filled their buckets and then helped grandma and KG & T both did super picking too! It was a lot of fun- a picnic there, trailer ride to the fields, lots of picking and then a playground. We didn't even make it to the petting zoo.
Then Monday we completed another Park Quest #3 for our family. We'd been camping in Patapsco State Park but headed back this time for a hiking trip. We did the GPS course for bigger kids and loved it. It's so great to be outdoors!!
