On Tuesday, July 18th, Rachel came over for a sleepover! We've been trying to plan this for months because I think the last one was in October. Summer is much easier since weekends are crazy for everyone.
Aleksy had to work so the 3 of us headed to Kustermans Berry Farm on the Tuesday. This was such a great day! We went last year for berry picking but didn't hit up the play area because Logan was only crawling. But I remember the blueberries being amazing, and we have a blueberry monster so Kustermans repeat it was.
These 2 being pulled by the tractor out to the blueberry fields.
More blueberries please!
Capturing that I actually had 2 competent pickers to help me fill the bucket this year! And I instantly remembered that blueberry picking is way easier than strawberry picking. There's no shortage, they are close together and they all look good! This wasn't so much the case at Heemans this year...
Blueberry taste testers.
Logan and Rachel approved.
After we filled our bucket and paid for our blueberries, we headed over to the play area. It was a pretty good deal - for $28 we got admission to the park and 2 lbs of blueberries and because we picked more than the 2 lbs, we just paid an extra $5. So reasonable for all that you get at Kustermans!
The first spot Rachel wanted to hit up was the zip lines. She probably did the zip line 100 times (no overexaggeration!).
How convenient that the giant sand hill with a bunch of trucks was right beside the zip lines? I could supervise both when they were both having the best time ever!
Meeting some new friends too.
When we got home, Logan decided that the 20 minute nap in the car was it, and he was good to go, so the 3 of us put our blueberries to good use and made some blueberry muffins.
Not the healthy kind that we usually make in our house - these ones had flour, sugar and butter...
Rachel was an awesome help for everything, ad Logan's specialty is putting the batter in the pan. Hes such a kid of precision that he can do this with making minimal mes even before 2. Gets is precision/slight OCD tendencies from his Dad...
And Rachel's sleepover night consisted of some Moana and Rachel staying up as late as us! (we go to bed at 10 like all the cool kids do)
Day 2 of Rachel sleepover, I offered Rachel to either go to a wading pool or splash pad, and she chose the wading pool. I decided to do the McMahon pool instead of Springbank because Springbank is so busy. It opened at 11am, which is a bit later but I figured we would just play on the playgroud first then swim.
Well, it actually didn't open until almost noon... how is that even allowed?! The City website clearly said 11. It was a long morning of trying to keep these 2 busy and happy, and this lunch was a bit early around 11:30!
Peanut butter jelly time!
Once we got on, life was grand again. Watering cans and pool toys were readily available since not many kids go there but the only thing that would have been better is an older playmate for Rachel!
This day was a bit better for the sleep situation for Logan. He napped for about an hour while me and Rachel set up the pool outside. How do you make the 1 1/2 year old happy when he wakes up crying from a not long enough nap? Freezies! Logans favourite!
This was our afternoon until Rachel had to leave!
