A Thompson Summer: Myrtle Beach Vacation
The kids and I headed to Myrtle Beach for a few days to meet up with Whitney, Caileigh, Aidan & Emmet. A 10 hour car ride to the beach...woo!
The kids spent most of their time in the water, going down the waterslide, building sand castles, lounging in the lazy river, riding 'roller coasters', and causing all sorts of trouble! Ha!
Six kids 4 & under can be quite an adventure. Most people looked at our crew with confusion, sympathy, and laughter! We had a great time and look forward to our next excursion!

A Thompson Summer: Strawberry Pickin'
I adore summer. The hot sun and everything that comes with it. It is by far my favorite season.
Due to many factors last summer (packing, moving, miscarriage), it was a total blur and not a very happy one. I don't think I took the kids to do one thing. If you know me, then you know this is totally not my style.
So this summer, we are making up for lost time! I haven't ever done a summer bucket list but when I am about to have a baby, I make note of the many, many fun things that I want to take the kids to see & do because newborns, well, they tend to slow me down a bit ;)
One of the things that I knew the kids & I would love to do would be strawberry picking! They are all three old enough to really enjoy it and be able to carry their bucket & pick their berries. I am not sure who had more fun: Adelaide getting the "most, Aspen eating nearly all of his before it was time to leave, Brighton who just wanted "more", or me while watching their smiles & excitement.
Thanks Gallrein Farms for the fun! We will definitely be making this a summertime tradition!
