A NY Beach




We visited the beach yesterday, or what NY calls a beach! My california-girl-snobby-self wants to say that was not a beach. But it actually wasn't all that bad. I liked that it wasn't salt water, that there were trees, which means shade!! Also, there was a playground which was fun for Jed :) It's been rough few days so it was nice getting out and just relaxing. There was absolutely no one there which was the cherry on top. The only thing that would have made this day better is a stop by the fruit stand (cough, cough). 




 We might have had more fun than Jed on the swings. RJ was so excited that they were long chains.

 These two will go in any water, anywhere, no matter the weather. AND throw rocks for hours :)
                         ^^^We found a fish and it was just the best thing ever for Jed.^^^


 ^^^Not sure if you can make out the tiny tadpoles. Ummm, yeah. Thats why I wouldn't put anything but my feet in.

 The tiniest, cutest, shells.
 This guy! He has been driving me crazy with the amount of energy he seems to have, and never run out of. Also the amount of whining and tantrums (good grief)! I chant to myself to stay strong and that it will get better if I don't give in. So stay strong mommas, you're not alone. We're all crying in a corner together. So this day at the beach was a nice break. Also, just love having RJ with me to fight the good fight.

Strawberry Picking




We visited Tanaka farm yesterday! I have been trying to stay jam-packed busy these next two weeks and this was a perfect way to do that. It was a really remarkable Southern California day! I mean, the weather! It was perfect for strawberry picking ;)


^^ Look at that sky!! ^^


They gave us a tour of the whole farm, 30 acres I believe. They shared a little about the history and what they do there. We were able to try different vegetables that they grow there. That part was a lot of fun. You stopped every few minutes and tried a different vegetable. You didn't know what would be next. 







                                           ^^Then you stopped and picked some strawberries! ^^




 You were able to eat them while you picked. Jed figured that out really quickly!


We had such a blast! It was nice to show Jed what a farm is and how food grows. Living in the city, it can be hard to remember that people work really hard on these farms. I couldn't help but be reminded of all the migrant farm workers.

It really was beautiful, just to be outside on such a nice day! This weather is what people move to LA for. I think maybe I just appreciate it a little more because we could be moving.

We hope to go back for the watermelon tours!
