Murray Family Farms

Last year we took a day and went to Murray Family Farms to pick strawberries. We had such a good time that we decided to make it a yearly tradition. Every Saturday in May they have free blueberry pancakes so we couldn't resist. It was amazing how different it was this year from last. We thought we were coming around the same time, but the growing season must be different this year. We went to pick strawberries and came home with peaches and nectarines. The strawberries were pretty much all picked over, and we had some in our garden still, so it wasn't a huge loss. I wish we would have picked more peaches and nectarines though because they were SOOO yummy. I LOVE "pit fruit" season. Emma had a good time playing in their "ant" maze and at the petting zoo. We missed out on the hayride and the homemade blueberry syrup, but it was a fun family outing nonetheless.





About a month ago we went to the temple for a ward activity. The youth watched the kids while the parents participated at the temple. It was a nice get away, but I couldn't help worrying about Emma the whole time. She is a great escape artist, and very fast. They said she only ran away a couple times.:) (What are we going to do!) We were able to get some updated family pictures. Not the greatest, but they will do for now until the baby comes.


I finally took Emma to get her 2 year pictures as well. She does not like to perform for the camera so we were lucky to get the shots that we did. Funny girl. This was the only picture I could get to put on here, and unfortunately it was one of the photos we ended up not choosing. It's so cute I should have.

FUN! It is weird to think that they are harvesting peaches and Nectarines in May instead of August-September:)). The picture of Emma looking at her pancakes was hilarious and I loved her 2 year old pose...what a cutie she is:).
Yea for an interim family picture, the tree you posed in was super cool!

That farm just sounds like fun. What a neat family tradition that will be. Emma is so cute in her picture. Your family picture is nice as well. What a neat idea to have the young women watch the kids so you can go to the temple. How far is the temple from you? Which temple do you go to?
