Just spontaneously yesterday morning, I packed us up and drove out to Sauvie Island Farm, the place we picked marion berries last summer. I was surprised and delighted that both boys occupied themselves: Max headed straight for the raspberry canes, and Shoghi played in the wagon the whole time. We three had a lot of fun, and I picked 14 pounds of berries! I also got one of those wonderful confidence boosters, having a successful outing alone with my sons that didn't involve restraining them in one way or another.
Success!
Looks like you're having a lovely time out east! I hope your travels went well, and that you're getting some down time. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't left yet! Sunday... I'm holding out until Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteOops! Well, I'll send some positive vibes your way for a great travel day on Sunday! Glad you tried the Benadryl ahead of time so you know it's not a good idea... If you have the time, let me know what what you're doing for the plane ride, and/or what worked (after you get there!)
ReplyDeleteI think the confidence booster is more important than anything!
