Watching Willow: First Trip to Auntie Kim's

We are selfishly soooo sad that Auntie Kim has moved 3 hours away but were happy to be able to spend a long weekend with her to celebrate the 4th. We had a GREAT time together and Willow slept really well on her napper (we've officially out-grown the pack-n-play), which was a huge relief. Mountains, cows, horses, and hay were regular words out of Willow's mouth while enjoying the scenery on the drive there and back. She held together pretty well during both treks.

We went to this beautiful pick-your-own berry farm and picked a ton of yummy blueberries:

Willow's position during most of our stay: hand-in-mouth. The guide in the field joked about how they should weigh the kids before and after...not a bad idea...

YUMMY!!!!

This was Willow's favorite spot...

...at this FUN water park!

She was not as interested in the pool as her mother and father hoped she would be. We even tried going two different days! Not interested.... She mostly enjoyed stepping up and down the ledge pictured above (?!?!?), playing in the 1-ft baby pool, walking through the spray from the fountains, or sitting on the edge of the pool and kicking her feet.

We drove out to see the land that Kim and Chad will build a house on. Willow enjoyed test-driving Chad's tractors:

...and playing in the hay...

Future farmer??

We had a nice cookout with Chad's parents and picked wild raspberries by their land:

YUMMY!!

Willow enjoyed the playground within walking distance from Kim's place:

Willow thoroughly enjoyed Auntie Kim's stairs. Maybe that they're carpeted? Maybe that they don't turn like ours? She loved to "go fast" while holding our fingers. She's figured out digital cameras and will say "see that?" after we take a picture or video.
