Pickin' on the Porch

 We went to Pickin' on the Porch again on Saturday!  Aidan, Emmy and Aoife all went to Super Saturday which is FREE childcare two Saturdays a month for families of deployed soldiers.  They can go from 9-5 and run around with their friends, have lunch and get completely exhausted!  They have a great time but I think it was a little too much to have so much fun all day and then go to Pickin'.  They had fun and ate about 3,000 snowcones each but they were pretty tired.  Declan was also tired because he and I ran errands in the morning so he only got his afternoon nap.  It was still fun but we didn't last too long!

Pickin' on the Porch

 We went to our second Pickin' this year on Saturday.  We decided to eat at home and then just enjoy the snowcones when we were there.  It was a LOT easier not to have to bring food along with all of the other gear that we tote along - 4 chairs, blanket, stroller, diaper bag, bag of random things (toys , suncreen, bug spray, wipes etc).  We had a great time.  It was hot but not too hot and the kids just love the freedom to run down and get snowcones!  Declan is crawling now so it's not quite as easy as before but he doesn't move too fast so it's not too bad - plus I have 3 other sets of eyes to help me out!
