Picking Strawberries

As promised and here are the pictures of my family and my sister's family together at strawberry field.

We have just arrived there and kids are pulling up on their boots. My kids borrowed their cousins' boots. They love the novelty of wearing them since we don't have snow in Florida so they don't own boots.

Jonah with one boot on and his pail.

Annabelle proudly show me her picked strawberries.

Aunt Jenny is helping her boy, Peter picking strawberry.

Uncle Andrew is hard at work. Sylvia and Annabelle.

Jonah pretty much just stomp around in the water and not doing any picking except to eat.

Trying to dry their feet by walking around.

My sister and I canned some jams and they were yummmy!

Red, white & blue quilt in progress...

Today is Sunday and tomorrow my senor is returning home. I am excited to see him tomorrow and at the same time sadden to lose this quilting time.

I've finished making 25 blocks of this. Three different square and it is on top of the banana cream cloth that I will be cutting up to sew them all together.

The outer border are red instead of having the same as inner border. On the blog I saw was both dark blue inner and outer border. But I decided to see how it look with red. Annabelle immediately said she like that one better. I had debated taking out the blue inner border but then I saw how far I've progressed and to take them all off and start over. NAH. Leave it alone.

I really really like them and I am soo HAPPY to have worked on them and finished the 25 blocks. What's left is cutting and putting it all together into a top quilt.

Yay!

Mini-vacation with Justin--part 2

We're up and hungry. Going to get something to eat at one of those breakfast brunch buffet place. Just before going in.

I'm holding Jonah and Justin is holding Annabelle.

We're at Orange Lake Resort at one of their lazy river pool site. We've already went swimming a while and now we're munching on snacks.

My senor. How I truly adore this picture of him. It is him at his best. Smiling and happy. It makes my heart gladden to see him like that.

We're done swimming and is at the Disney's boardwalk. We have to go in the hotel to get to the boardwalk. The sofa was huge and inviting so we just plopped into it.

We're tired and pooped and ready to go home.

Another one of those big sofa.

The end. We went back home afterward.
