What makes Friday mornings at Swamp Rabbit more fun?? The Strawberry Festival! I'm so happy that it is Strawberry Season now, because we all love how juicy and sweet strawberries are, right now. We got to Swamp early on Friday morning to beat the rush for our smoothies and scones per usual, but by 11, it was getting busy! They had a blow up bounce house for all the kids, so we decided to stay a little bit longer, and have some lunch before our drive home for naptime. Solomon even fell asleep on the car ride home!! It was a good Friday morning as always, at Swamp Rabbit! 

a special strawberry smoothie for the occasion!

Meeting up with friends is one of the best parts about our Friday mornings. Solomon gets to play with his buddies and I get to hang out with  my momma friends! It really is a win-win. I also had some major momma/auntie duties for the first time. Jonah needed to go to the bathroom, so I told Joy I would hold Sophie for her. Asher was already having some milk, and ready for his morning nap, but he didn't mind Sophie sitting on him... he actually fell asleep before Joy got back. So funny, I love this picture so much. 

Finally making it in the bouncy house!

still working on the same smoothie, not a second... I promise! haha

& the infamous strawberry shortcake for the special day!

Maybe we will finally get a picture of all the boys looking at the camera one day?!? 

family bike ride.

It was a weekend full of beautiful weather, and we definitely started it off right on Friday, at Swamp Rabbit! We always try and spend our Friday morning at the SRG for some breakfast and play time, but we ended up having a busy morning. I thought it would be fun to go for a late lunch and take the dad's with us this time. Peter's brother spotted the huge group bike and was dying to rent it. We all thought it was joking but when the little ears heard him, we knew we couldn't change their mind. It looked like so much fun but it was a little scary. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but we also had to newborns strapped to our chest on the back seats. We were crying from laughing so hard!!! You can have an adventure of your own and rent the bike at Swamp Rabbit Trail Bike Shop 

I love the fringe on the bike so much!!! 

cute boys, my new favorite Jonah & Solomon picture! 

....with a little bit of Jaden. Even with Solomon's Larabar face.

the first bike ride for the babies!!

we had to get out with the babies so the guys could turn the bike around, it was so funny. Instead of a 3 point turn, it was more of an 8 point turn. Peter got a good glute workout though ;) 

It was such a fun family adventure that we didn't even plan to have. 

I really love Fridays when we can all hang out and make memories together!! 

friday mornings.

The past several months have been spent doing the same thing, almost every Friday, and we love it! Unless Solomon is sick, or I'm sick, or it's raining, we are at Swamp Rabbit for some playtime with friends. I have my friends, and they have their babies, who are conveniently Solomon's friends! ;)
A total win/win.

Solomon gets so excited each week when I tell him where we are going. He exclaims "mooooothi!" because he knows we get to split a yummy treat. A big smoothie full of local fruits & dairy, paired with a perfect cheddar and kale scone. The perfectly crunchy and fluffy scone  is the most exciting part to me, honestly. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, but that scone is amazing! Sadly though, they are taking a break from the kale scone since kale isn't in season now. Just another reason to look forward to September! Mmmm, my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. Until then, we will enjoy some cheese puffs, which are also very tasty. 

Friday mornings are the best! It's a dirty mess and all the toys are hand me downs that have been loved by many kids. But I think that's what I love most about Solomon playing there. It doesn't need to be fancy, just a fun morning with his friends. Definitely check out Swamp Rabbit if you are in Greenville, it's worth the trip!
