Nauseous Hedgehog and Bill's Berry Farm

Poor Olin got sick last night. He woke up at 12:30 and 1:30 throwing up. Halmoni sleeps in the room right next door so she got to him first both times and we worked together to clean up the mess and hold him. Poor little thing! It got me thinking that in his two years, I can't remember him ever throwing up. Could that be right? Come to think of it, I do not remember him being truly sick at all, besides a runny nose.

Well I had big plans to take the kids to Bill's Berry Farm in Grandview, Washington, which is about 30 miles west of here. I love Bill's Berry Farm! It is so cute and local and I don't feel like they nickel and dime you.  There are donuts for each season (cherry donuts right now, blueberry donuts next week, pumpkin donuts in the fall), little picnic and play areas for the kids, hay rides, corn mazes, and the list goes on. Everything is free except the 1) actual fruit you pick, which is cheap 2) food that you purchase, 3) the little kids' train rides and 4) $5 parking which they just started and which they did not charge me for since they didn't have change. Funny because I was a tiny bit surprised and put-off that they charge $2 for the train rides and I just saw on their sign today that 100% of the proceeds from the train rides go toward a cause in Haiti. So I was back to loving Bill's Berry Farm after that :)

Anyway, I definitely felt it would be risky taking Olin there because he had thrown up at 7:30am again this morning. But I needed to find an activity for me and kids to do or I was going to go nuts this weekend with no Dae (working) and nothing on the calendar.  So I packed up Christian and we went, just the two of us. Halmoni and Haraboji stayed at home and watched Olin (along with their soaps). We had a great time. Over the course of today I ate probably 6 donuts and we picked one bucket of cherries. More like I picked one bucket of Cherries and Leelee sat in the wagon eating them and asking for "just one more".

These suckers were delish. And very easy to pick. No ladders needed.
