Strawberry Picking

We went strawberry picking on Greta's birthday. Greta picked a lot of unripe ons and got bored very quickly.Tess spent the whole time eating the strawberries.

Botanical Gardens

We took our family pics here at the Botanical Gardens. And I got the idea to bring the girls in their tutus. They had fun running around.
Greta spent most of the time running away from me.



And even more swimming

WI Dells Pottery

Here are the first of many pics. I have so many that we are going to have to do this over many days. We went to a paint your own pottery place and had a blast.

Greta and Grant painted a penguin piggy bank.

Ezra painted a snake.

Katie did a cookie jar with all 3 boy's handprints. It turned out really nice. I wish I had a pic of the finished product.

Weiss painted a pirate.

It was tricky painting Henri's hand and getting it on the cookie jar.


Grant wanted to finish the penguin off, so we got Greta a dinosaur magnet to paint.
