it's my grdad's birthday. happy birthday grdad.
today mom made me go out and work in the fields. what is this the 1850's? we drove out into the countryside to a near by farm. it's a pick your own strawberries place. there were a million other kids there with their moms too. what is it- slave labor day? everyone was given a bucket and we trudged out to the fields to pick berries.
i picked 10 berries and that was enough for me. mom filled her whole bucket up. strawberry picking sounds more fun than it really is. i kept squeezing the berries so they were shooting juice all over my hands. gross.
mom and i took our berries to be weighed. we got just over 5lbs worth in about 15min. not bad. mom paid the raisin looking lady.( she was kind of old and her skin looked like a raisin, it was weird.) there was a small playground at the farm. mom took me over there to have some fun.
had a good time at the playground. going down slides is much more my thing. i ran around. the other kids came over when they were done with their shift in the fields. we all took turns on the slides. it was starting to get hot so mom shooed me off to the car. but i want to stay and play! mom doesn't care.
mom drove us back but instead of turning to go home, she just kept going straight. she drove us to our regular park. i got out of the car and went to the playground with mom. awesome. there's big trees that shade all the equipment so it's much nicer to play on when the day is getting hotter. there were kids running around and playing so i joined in. i had a nice time playing but once again mom shooed me off to the car.
got home and it's really hot now. mom says it's going to storm later. i'm just going to hang out watching shows trying to stay cool.
