Chopsticks & Cherry Picking

Last week Brice and I went to San Francisco for a few nights to celebrate my Birthday. We stayed at Hotel Nikko which is right by Union Square. So we a family here at church watched Zeke for the 2 nights, and another family watch Cocoa. We took BART in and had a great time. We had dinner with some friends from Santa Rosa and then just walked around and relaxed the rest of the time.

While there we did find some kid chopsticks. Recently Zeke pretends to eat with chopsticks just like Daddy. He will fold his straw and try that, and usually ends up using his pointer and middle finger. The ones we got have animals on the top, so we got a panda and giraffe. Here is Zeke using them the first night we were all home. He ate three pancakes with them. He will pretty much use them to eat whenever we let him.



Today we went and picked Cherries and Boysenberries. We went with another family from church. The kids loved it. As soon as I showed Zeke what to do he took off. They carried their little buckets, would snack on some every once in a while and the rest went in the buckets. We walked out of there with 1 1/2 pounds of cherries. Zeke and the other little boy were done by the time we got to the berries. They were not really able to do those, so they just ran around while the little girl, her mommy and I picked berries. It was a lot of fun and plan to go pick other fruits and veggies soon.
