Ice Cream & Berry Pickin


Shelby's parents arrived yesterday to visit for two weeks. Wednesday night we had dinner at home and then walked to get ice cream afterwards. Colin knows how to walk to the ice cream shop and when we get to the corners he points and says "that way" to tell us which way to go. There are also a few stops we have to make along the way. We have to time it right so that when we leave the house we see the train go by. Colin loves the "choo choo" and gets very excited when he sees it.
Here is Colin cheering after the train went by...


After the train tracks we have to stop to pick up a few rocks and save them for the "warlay". When we get to the bridge and the water (warlay) we have to stop and throw the rocks off the bridge.


Once that is over we keep on walking towards the ice cream stand and we come to the "bock bocks" (aka chickens) and we have to peek over the fence at the chickens and say hi. Then we are directed "that way" across the street where we finally make it to the ice cream shop and Colin gets his own waffle cone, usually strawberry.


The next morning we woke up and went to pick strawberries. We've taken Colin a few times, he loves running around and picking eating the strawberries in the field. One of his babysitters works the check out there where you weigh your berries and pay so he also gets a kick out of seeing her there.
