"Just Another Day in Paradise": Back to the Blueberry Farm and Mae's 2 year check-up

Today we went BACK to the blueberry farm. Luckily we recruited a group to go with us - the Wilhites, the Reagans and the Coxes! We got there at 10:30am so it was a little cooler than last weekend but not much. The kids lasted about 20 - 25 minutes picking the berries and then we headed back to the house for blueberry popsicles! I think the kids had more fun eating the popsicles than picking the berries. I got a big gallon bag of berries to take with us to Mobile. Maybe I'll even attempt to make some blueberry muffins with them! After the popsicles, they let them feed the roosters blueberries. They had a blast doing this too! They are probably some well fed roosters! After the blueberry farm we headed to Julie Anne's for lunch. It was a little wild but that is to be expected with 7 kids!

Our other adventure for the day (if that wasn't enough) was a trip to the pediatrician for Mae's 2 year check-up (a month later). Taylor came over to watch Sanders and took him to his swimming lessons.

Mae did great at the doctors office. She was 27lbs and 33" tall. She is 50% in weight and height and 90% in her head. Hopefully that means she will be smart. She cooperated well for the doctor - even through the shots. She whimpered a little when she got it but was smiling after I told her they gave her a band-aid. That was a lot less painful than I thought it would be. She is such a tough child! We were out of there in 1 1/2 hours but I guess that is pretty normal. Hopefully we won't be going back until her 4 year check-up!
