Blueberry picking!

We had a great visit with Meg and Dana last week! Meg had just gotten back from her breadloaf summer term and Dana was in VT visiting her fam. It was a perfect detour on our way to Midd for Noah and Kelly's wedding! Alice was psyched to have so many people to play with! She loves saying Dana's name and decided she preferred to call Meg "bunny" her affectionate interpretation of Meg's last name.

Alice also really enjoyed meeting Dana's sister, Lucy. Lucy was amazing with Alice when we went down to the lake. Alice hasn't had a ton of open water exposure (her kiddie pool doesn't quite compare to a real lake!) so she gets a little nervous in deeper water. I haven't been able to convince her to be very adventurous but Lucy had her feeling very comfortable by the end of the afternoon. She was dipping her head back in the water and laying back in Lucy's arms. It was very cool to see!

We also went blueberry picking that afternoon! Alice was amazing. Her focus was incredible. She didn't eat one(!) but she picked an entire little carton herself! Here are some picks!





We also had a wonderful visit with Gumma and Gogo. Unfortunately I left my camera at Dana's so I don't have snapshots of our that - but it was great!

  1. Did Alice go for a run afterwards? Looks like she's ready to hit the field!
