Friday night, we got together with friends from church and practiced some new music. That was alot of fun! On Saturday we got several things around the house accomplished. On Sunday, after church, we spent the afternoon with Tanya and Gabe. We always enjoy their company, and they are really good cooks. After dinner we had a great time singing and playing instruments!
Monday morning, Lindsey, Ben and I went and picked more strawberries. I'm so glad we were able to get more before the season ended. The berries definitely weren't as plentiful as last time we picked. But I was able to make 14 more jars of jam and 10 bowls of freezer jam. We have really enjoyed sharing our jam, so I was thrilled to make more.
After more working around the house, we took a break and went to the pool. This was opening weekend and the kids couldn't wait another minute. But the water was freezing cold!!! We were only there about an hour. I can't believe it is already summer again! It was really neat to be able to sit outside the pool for a bit this year and watch the kids swim. Up until now, I have had to be in the water with the kids, so I feel like we turned a big corner!
After the pool, we came home for dinner and finished it off with some ice cream cones outside! Outside is the best place for ice cream cones. I wish I could get a really good picture of the ice cream dripping down Drew's elbow. He enjoyed it tremendously! As a matter of fact, everyone did! Even Nestle! She started licking all the ice cream that had dripped on Drew's clothes! It was hilarious! I should have known that dogs like ice cream. My Aunt Francis used to take her dog through the drive-thru at McD's just to get an ice cream cone!

It looks like you guys had a really fun weekend, nothing like dripping ice cream or icing all over a child's face.
