A Few Big Events in April and May

Aside from our trip to Delaware, we had a couple other noteworthy events.

First, Grandpa King came to visit with his girlfriend, Kathy, at the end of April.  We all had a good time touring DC and eating delicious foods.  Alison enjoyed hanging out with Grandpa, Kathy, and Uncle Justin for that stretch of five days.

Grandpa & Alison - Old Town Alexandria Waterfront

Nathan finished painting and adding a closet in the new baby's room, so we moved the crib and got Alison to use her new "Big Girl Bed".  She was not very happy about being forced out of her crib.

On the 19th, Alison and I went strawberry-picking at Shlagel Farms.  Last year, she ate strawberries constantly (both ripe and white ones - it didn't matter) and the outing ended in this strawberry coma:

This year, Alison was an excellent strawberry-picking machine!  She knew exactly which ones to grab and only ate a few....until the ride home where she mostly finished her small batch of about 20 that she had picked.  We also got to feed the chickens, play on the playground and dig in the sand before it started to downpour on us.  Alison asked if we could go strawberry-picking again the next day.

Great Harvest
