another visit to the strawberry fields

we took a trip to lakeland to visit the strawberry fields one more time before strawbery season ends, and we picked a bunch of delicious strawberries.  of course we visited the tractors and had fun on all of the rides too!

first bike ride of the season on the trail

we took a trip out to the bike trail for the first time this season.  noah enjoyed riding along on dad's bike and stoping at a few playgrounds along the way to play too!

saying hi to butterflies

over the weekend my dad attended the annual butterfly release.  he came home to us with extra butterflies and we had a nice little ceremony of our own releasing them near the flowers.  noah was especially happy that one landed on his finger and then his leg!

cooling off on a hot day

our neighbors invited us over for a little summer gathering, and noah enjoyed cooling off in the baby pool.  he also enjoyed dunking himself in the bucket of water for the water balloons.

lots of "big shows"

mr. noah has been a big help at all of mama's "big shows" recently!

and he's always game to test out whatever scenery we have on stage!
