Grillin' and Strawberry Pickin'


The weekend was a fun, summery one. Perfect start to the first official weekend of summer. Allison and Ed (or otherwise known as Auntie Allie and Uncle Eddie) came over Saturday to grill hot dogs and hamburgers with us- thank you Ed for doing the grilling! :) We had never used the grill or the patio downstairs and no one else was using it, so it was great. We had a fun time with them and Sadie really enjoyed being outside too. Got to eat the entire dinner and relax with some Corona's, Guinness, and some Mikes Hard Lemonade (mmmm...), and she just coo'd, smiled, and had a good time looking around at the trees over head the whole time. Grilling is something we'll have to do more of, it worked out so well with Sadie. I guess I better start watching a lot of Bobby Flay to get some tips. Or just have Ed and Al over a lot. :)


We also went to Sweet Berry Farm and pick our own strawberries. We do this every year, the strawberries are amazing. You don't realize how good fresh fruit tastes until you actually get really fresh fruit. It kicks Stop and Shops butt. And its fun to pick the berries yourself. We are going to try to go a lot this summer to pick our own berries, peaches, apples, etc. Plus they have a little market there to buy fresh veggies, homemade pies and cookies, ice cream, etc. Its addicting when you go there, you just start salivating and want to buy everything in the store. 

On a side note, the house next door is being worked on and all the yelling, hammering,  and sawing keeps waking Sadie up! grrrr....
