Strawberry Fair

Since the Internet at our home is so unpredictable, I decided to wait until we got to the airport (heading to Disney!) to upload the pictures from the Strawberry Fair from a few weeks ago.  Eric and I took Theo down to Ashland while Alvin and Simon spent the weekend in Maryland.

Our first stop was a small farmer's market that didn't have much selection but AWESOME mustard greens.  We then headed over to the fair which took place on Randolph-Macon college.  The campus is beautiful and I've been thinking about pursuing my sociology degree there.





Real live horses!

There was a stand that sold vegan soft serve for $4. It truly hit the spot after being outside for a few hours.



After the fair, we stopped off at a little coffee shop for lunch and live music from a local band.



Eric got a feta salad, Theo an English muffin (he had lunch at the fair), and I ate a black bean quesadilla (forgot to take a picture).



Green tea!  My favorite drink next to water



We stood in line for nearly 15 minutes for this sweet joy.  It was well worth the wait!  I froze half and the chipmunks ate the rest within 24 hrs.  Ashland Farms sponsored the event and when we went back the following weekend to get more strawberries, they were gone for the rest of the season.

Summer Vacation

It's officially summer vacation for my chipmunks!  We've spent some time at the lake, library, a few nature walks and a little bike riding.



We spotted this little guy on one of walks

During the last week of school I went to The Children's Museum with Theo on a school field trip.  Since my chipmunks are close in age and all attend the same school, this was my FOURTH time there and hopefully my last with the school.  The trips are rushed, there are about 80,000 kids running around and I'm stuck "babysitting" other kids when really all I want to do is hang with my child.  :-)



All three chipmunks finished off the school year with honor roll (Simon & Theo) and principal's list (Alvin).  I attended Alvin's ceremony and inevitably missed Simon and Theo's. Oops! Alvin gave me a notice from this teacher saying he was being honored and I didn't hear anything from the other two; so I assumed their ceremonies were taking place on another date.  All is good because they didn't seem to care that I wasn't there.  I guess they cut me some slack since I typically show up to their events.
