Cherry Picking!
This past weekend we went to Villa Del Sol Sweet Cherry Farms in Leona Valley, CA (by Palmdale) to pick cherries for the first time with Alexander! Grandpa came with us and Rebecca and parents and Baby Nicholas and parents joined us too! Alexander and Rebecca had the best time picking cherries, eating cherries, and playing in the dirt. Mommy hopes this becomes a family tradition for us. We made cherry muffins tonight and prepared the dough for cherry pie later this week! EXCITED!!

"Ewe Rock"
Today we visited the OC Youth Expo at the OC Fairgrounds. We learned about oxen and got to pet one which weighs almost 3,000 lbs!! We saw other animals at this year-round educational farm, including piglets just one day old, sheep, hairy goats, cows, and hens with chicks. Alexander was also able to "milk" a cow, plant sunflower seeds and brush up on his farming skills. We had a lovely morning together at Centennial Farms and look forward to visiting again!
