Raspberry Picking and Riverfront Park

What a great weekend at our house, we did some raspberry picking and spent a day at Riverfront Park. Picking berries was great, we had 4 flats in about an hour and a half. The girls ate so many that we thought that they would be sick or hate them forever, but neither was the case! They had a great time exploring the rows of berries while mom and dad picked away.

Riverfront park is always a favorite. The kids have been begging to go with Dad (we tend to avoid the park on the weekends), and they had a great time showing him all their favorite things to do. They had a blast feeding the ducks, riding the carousel, going on the rides, and playing in the park.

Feeding the geese is always a highlight.

Are there 3 cuter girls? :)

Paige was doing a little exploring and discovered that she could fit between the bars on the clock tower. The part that she could not figure out is how to get back out! After taking advantage of the photo opportunity, Mom did show her how to get back out.

The kids have been asking for months to ride the gondola, and mom and dad finally gave in. We all enjoyed the ride and liked the beautiful view of the falls. We would highly recommend it in the spring when the river is at its best and the cars are not so hot!
