U-Pick Flowers

There is a Daniel Tiger Neighborhood episode about doing something nice for your neighbors and Daniel gives sunflowers to everyone. Well Lillian loves to go up to me or Kevin and say "i have a surprise for you, its.... a sunflower!" so this morning we went and picked some sunflowers.

I posted about picking peaches at a local orchard and this morning we were able to go pick our own flowers at the same Orchard. It was not the super fun picture taking morning I had in my mind. I had Adeline in the stroller (trucking through flower beds) and Lillian throwing dirt clots. However, it was a fun different experience and we got some beautiful flowers out of it.

Some of our neighbors met us there and Lillian was much easier to manage with friends around.

poor Adeline just had to sit in the sun the whole time so we picked one for her to hold

I was able to fill 4 vases with flowers when I got home.
