I’m winding down my sessions now, I only have a few more left to go before I begin my “leave” before my little boy gets here. I didn’t want to neglect my photography or my blog during that time so I have decided to create a project for myself documenting our summer (and maybe if I can keep it up beyond summer too). I am excited to see what I can get into with Abby this summer, since it’s our last as a twosome. We had a wonderful Fourth of July, I’m so glad that Abby likes fireworks (unlike her mama who used to cry through them until I was 8) and is such a flexible little trooper about staying up late as well.
We went to NIST in Gaithersburg and saw the fireworks from the fairgrounds, wow they were awesome! We will be watching them from NIST in the future if we are in town, it was so well organized, it didn’t take an hour to leave the parking lot, just very refreshing. I have been traumatized from the Rockville fireworks since it took us an hour to exit the parking lot after watching 10 minutes of fireworks..thumbs down! My folks came with us to enjoy the show and Abby was very happy to have Nana and PopPop there to entertain her and vice versa. I really enjoyed it, it was actually just what I wanted it to be which never happens with me and holidays because I always have too high expectations and then get disappointed.
We started the day off by going blueberry picking with some friends of ours at Butler’s Orchard. The kids were so excited, this was the first year Abby actually picked good ones and not green ones or the little teeny ones.
The most exciting part for the kids was the hayride to get to the blueberry patch, which for me was the most nervewracking of course. It was very bumpy and I felt the driver was a little wreckless, but I’m a scaredy cat so he was probably fine. The berries are delish! I am not a huge fan of blueberries but these are yummo!
Ok, first blog entry done 🙂 I hope that it wasn’t too boring, I will try to be more exciting in the future!
