Friday afternoon I picked up the boys from school and we headed straight to the park. Daddy had to work a late, so we headed over to our favorite milkshake place to pick up a nice cool sweet treat before we headed home for the evening.
This kid is so much fun...
This kid is so silly...
Enjoying a milkshake at our favorite milkshake locale in Madison...
Wearing half of his milkshake on the drive home...
Playing with his new shovel...
The roses in our yard are in bloom...
Saturday morning we headed to a local farm to pick some fresh strawberries and enjoy some time in the sunshine as a family.
Two of my favorite men...
RF was cooperative and stuck his head in the strawberry, but not Ellis...
This was the best I got...
Strawberry pickin' morning...
A big ole' grasshopper that we found hiding on one of the strawberry plants...
Strong boy carrying part of our loot...
The farm also has a fairly large kids play area with a ball pit, a slide, inflatables, etc., so the brothers had to take some time to have some fun...
JUMP!
JUMP!
RF and Ellis both went down the slides as usual...
I cleaned and cut up two big freezer bags of strawberries for us to enjoy this summer...
Sunday morning we packed the car up for a day trip to the north GA mountains - Black Rock Mountain State Park. We had so much fun! Seriously - it was an awesome day. The boys were in good moods and were totally cooperative (they're 4 and 2, sometimes we have questionable days...).
Winding road taking us up to the top of Black Rock Mountain...
We made it!
Crossing the Eastern Continental Divide...
We stopped in the ranger station/gift shop for a quick bathroom break and RF spotted a hawk in their display...he thinks it's too cool that our last name is the same as a bird...
Windy and dreary morning...
Moss growing on one of the railings...the boys were walking out onto a bridge to get a better view of the mountains...
Lots of fog, but luckily it lifted a little while later and we were able to see much better...
Ranger RF leading us on our tour of the Everglades (???)...I have no idea where that came from, but he insisted we were in the Everglades...
Hiking with my boys...
Water drops on a leaf...
Heading down to take a look at a waterfall...
Enjoying the waterfall...
Taking a break on a swing after our hike...
Fog starting to lift...
Winding dirt road leading us to Black Rock Lake...
Looking out over Black Rock Lake with my boys...
Having a blast!
Ellis throwing rocks into the lake...
Such a cutie...
Chowing down on a hamburger at Waffle House...RF kept telling us that he could make everything on the menu because he is a good cook...
Enjoying the car ride home with his new stuffed animal - a king snake...
Ellis got an owl, or as he calls it, a WHO-WHO...
ZONKED...
Everyone uses their stuffed animals as pillows right?
