Sunday in Winchester

With Dan up in Maine playing frisbee on Sunday, Finley and I had a fun adventure to the neighboring town of Winchester. We started by visiting the Wright-Locke farm where we (I) got to pick fresh raspberries. While there were lots of bees flying around and ten-year old boys playing hide and seek everywhere, it was pretty fun.

Finley was in the Beco and it was tricky to reach some of the juiciest raspberries, it was worth it. We filled up our sand pail and took it back to get weighed. We picked 1.5 pints, paid up, and put them into the tupperware container we brought from home. See how delicious they look!

Then, we drove into Winchester center to crawl around the Book Nook. Finley quickly found the board books and had fun pulling himself up and pulling the books out.

Surprisingly, he didn't lick or chew on any of them! Perhaps he knew they weren't his to drool on...that was until he saw his "night-night book."

I had to swipe it away as it neared his mouth, but he took in in stride and moved on to other fine literary works. After we'd done enough damage without buying anything, we walked across the street to the toy store. Lucky for us, it was empty and we had the run of the place. Finley spent most of his time at the train table, but I also had fun sending a push car in different directions and watching Finley chase after it. Sadly, no video evidence of it, but you can imagine!

Just before we left, he pulled himself up on a table and reached for the puzzle pieces that were on top. Since he is, of course, a genius--Finley grabbed the F piece from the puzzle!

Sure it was the closet piece, but I feel like he knew it was the right piece. We ended the day with dinner at home and we both got to enjoy our freshly harvested raspberries :)
