The White House

On Tuesday Quinn and I met some of my holistic mom friends at Terhune Orchards for a kids story time and pear picking.  Terhune Orchards is south of us near Princeton and about an hours drive away.  We\’ve been there a handful of times, including  August 2009 and July 2009.

We started with a short story time and then went off to the orchards to pick some pears.  Each kiddo was given a bag and got to pick one asian pear and 5 regular pears.   The trees and the ground were full of pears.

After pear picking, we went off to feed the goats and climb on the tractors.  Terhune has so many activities for the kids that we were there for 3 – 4 hours just having fun.  And the weather couldn\’t have been nicer.   Quinn and his pal Fraser had lots of fun together.  

Quinn and I had a great day today.  We started off with a trip to Trader Joe\’s where Quinn got some fun stickers from the cashier.   From there we went to Mindawoskin Park where we ran in to Alison, Fraser, and Jasmine.  It was such a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze.  After a couple of hours of fun with Fraser, we headed home to get ready for a playdate.  A couple of girl friends from Sundance came over to play.  It was so much fun to see them playing together.  The three kids played quietly in the upstairs playroom while the ladies and I got caught up on all our summer happenings.   Then it was dinner and time to make some rollerskates.  Quinn made these himself.

Before falling asleep, Quinn and I talked about our wonderful day and how we needed a really good night\’s sleep so that we can make the most of our day tomorrow.  We are squeezing all the little juicy bits out of summer before it\’s gone.

Mom and Pam drove up to NJ for a quick visit.  We only had a couple of days so we hit some local parks and ice cream shops!  Quinn was so excited to see his Grams and Aunt Pammie and had such a good time playing with them.    And I just love this moment captured.

Grams and Aunt Pam, we miss you already!
