Color Run

This past weekend we participated in Middleton's Color Rama Fun Run! It was a 5k run, walk, or stroll with 7 stops along the way where you would get blasted with color. Our girls were so excited about the idea of being covered from head to toe in brightly colored cornstarch. We of course had to take a before shot.

And the after shot....
Harper stayed pretty clean the whole time until the end when her cousins decided to give her a little bit more color on the top of her head.

Rhaegan was completely covered and the smile on her face tells you she was LOVING IT!! We all had a great time especially the grand kids. They all decided to ambush grandma as she crossed the finish line. I got a video of the whole thing but no pictures:( it was hilarious!!

Raspberries

Harper loves fruit! Any kind will do. However, she does have her favorite...raspberries. Grandpa has an amazing field full of these juicy treats and Harper is a pro at picking them. In fact, if you're not watching her closely enough she will sneak away from you and head down to the raspberry patches all by herself. She will even carry the raspberry bucket with her so she's completely prepared to gather hand fulls of the fruit. 
She somehow finds a way to avoid the little thorns which cover the stems of each plant. She even knows that you only pick the red ones and leave the white ones alone. Papa Taylor has really taught her how to be a great gardener.
