Sleepovers and Berry Picking

This weekend was full of lots of fun activities. On Friday night, we ordered in pizza and had a pizza party in the basement while watching the movie "Cars" with Will. Then, he and Phil had a campout in the basement. He got to try out the sleeping bag he got for his birthday. He thought it was pretty cool and fell asleep right away. Unfortunately, he did wake up around 1:30am with wet clothes and then decided to get in bed instead of going back downstairs to the sleeping bag.

On Saturday, we woke up and went to the Farmer's Market.  After Alex's 10am feeding, we drove out to Rockford to go berry picking.  Will did a great job.  He carried the bucket for us and was actually pretty into the whole process.  I was afraid he would either lose interest or only want to eat the berries but he was pretty excited to fill the bucket.  We took a break halfway through to have a picnic lunch in the back of the van (we love that car!) and then went back for more picking.  We ended up filling more than half of the bucket with blueberries and also picked a pint of black raspberries.  We stayed in Saturday night to grill.

On Sunday, we walked up to town and Will rode his bike on the ramp by the fountain.  He is usually a speed demon but for some reason was more cautious yesterday. After lunch, we took Will bowling.  He has been asking to go back for a while and it was pretty hot and muggy so it was a good indoor activity.  I don't know which he enjoyed more - the actual bowling or dancing in between balls.  Then Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch the kids while Phil and I went to see Andrew Bird perform at the botanical gardens with some friends.  It was a great night for an outdoor concert!
