Some August Playgroups

Our church playgroup and local Momsclub really help keep us sane around here. Especially during the long summer months when everyone morning starts with, "What are we doing today? Who are we going to play with? Where are we going?!" Here are some of the different outings we went on.

These girls are definite free spirits.

On Thursday morning, August 15th, our playgroup met at the Akron Art Museum to try out their story time and a new program they set up to help kids stay better enjoy the museum.

They had some games set out in the lobby along with cookies and juice boxes.

On Thursday the 22nd, our playgroup was scheduled to pick raspberries at Rittman Orchards. The weather forecast was not in our favor but we headed out anyway. We arrived just as the clouds seemed to be rolling in. We managed to get about 10 minutes of picking time in before we were forced inside. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.

She loves picking fruit...not that you could tell by this picture.

Morgan took these pictures for me. Clouds were not looking good.

I spent all 10 minutes trying to fill the bucket as quickly as possible.
Hazel spent that time trying to empty it.

The kids didn't mind cutting our outing short once I got them ice cream and told them we were going to take our picnic lunch to daddy's work. Since we were already almost to Orrville, I called Cody when the clouds turned on us and we met up with him for the last daddy/lunch date of the summer.

Our measly haul. At least they tasted delicious.
