Weekend Recap :)

Saturday was really rainy and gross, so our plans to go on the boat were scrapped.  We decided to just go to Southampton for lunch instead.  Jon suggested we go to the park with the kids, but given the torrential downpour, I didn't think that was the best idea :)

Charlotte is ready for the elements!

Daddy and Henry checking the doppler…despite Jon saying "this is going to pass in 5 minutes", that wasn't exactly the case!!!

So, unfortunately, our Saturday didn't go as planned, but we did have a nice lunch and we were able to walk around Southampton during a brief break in the rain.

Sunday we had once again hoped to go on the boat or to the beach, but it was overcast and kind of windy, so that plan was once again scrapped…instead, we headed to Harbes farm.  The kids had a great time…it is a wonderful place--now that I know how much the kids love it, it might be my go-to :)

This tractor was a very popular attraction!  Henry did NOT like when Charlotte tried to ride his tractor haha

But then he realized there was a sandbox with trucks and tractors, and he was in heaven!

Image 63

He kept on calling me over and pointing to the sand toys, as if he couldn't believe his good fortune!

Happy little boy

Charlotte was finally able to tear Henry away from the sandbox, haha

Image 70

…but then he saw the tractor sign, and again--heaven!  He kept saying "i want that, I want that".  I might actually get him a sign like that for his room if I thought for one second that he would actually go to sleep…but I know he would be way too excited to sleep with that great sign hanging in his room :)
