My kids

I had the 1st week of June off and spent some much needed time doing some family outings. We took advantage of the 90 degree weather and headed out to Raccoon State Park for a day where there's a beach. It's not the ocean, but you can't beat it for something local.

My 3 kids all together:

Strawberry picking, Ella helped herself out in the field.
