Strawberries and a zipline

This is kind of a random post but it's what we've been up to in the last week that is noteworthy!  On Monday I took the kids to a local berry farm to pick strawberries.  Knox had been when he was little but we didn't make it out last year with Isla so this was the first time that he remembers it.  He was really excited to pick strawberries and did good with figuring out which ones were ripe and which ones weren't.  Isla just kind of walked around and looked at the strawberries. The farm also has goats that you can feed and a bounce area so it was a fun day and the weather was beautiful!

Now on to the zip line. Last Saturday we went over a friends house for a BBQ.  They live way out in Dripping Springs on a few acres and have chickens, a miniature horse, goats, trampoline, fire pit, etc, etc. It's basically a kids dream yard.  Knox has been there once before and was HYPED to go back!  Little did he know was he was getting into.  The family had recently installed a zip line for their daughter's 5th birthday.  It ran across the yard from a perch up on a tree, maybe 20 feet up, and ended on a platform.  Knox was excited to try and after a little coaching he even jumped out of the tree all by himself. I was shocked and so proud of him! Now every day he tells me how brave he is, it's adorable.

We even got Isla in on the action. She was not too keen on it because she was too small for the harness so it looked uncomfortable for her. But she was a trooper and didn't put up too much of a fight. 

It's getting warm here pretty consistently so we've been able to go the in pool a few times. Knox & Isla are loving it and I'm ready for summer when we can swim every day! It's close!


this girl is ready!
