Our fabulous neighborhood "Wednesday Getaways" have
continued this summer thanks to my friend Ann.
We went to Wheeler Farm for a picnic in their giant shady trees.
Seeing the animals and farm equipment was just icing on the cake.
(I wasn't planning on taking pictures, so these were from my iphone.)

| picnic! |
 |
| We always park our picnic blankets right next to the stream so the kids can wade in it while we watch. |
 |
| Linc was being so hilarious-- laying just like this with only his head up and eating sooo much watermelon. Pretty soon we were all laughing at him- he looked like a little man drunk on watermelon. |

| Hahaha! |
We visited the little country store right before we left for a little treat.
Jada was nice enough to give up the last reeses peanut butter cup ice cream bar to me- so sweet!
A great place for a picnic!
