Berry Season Begins

On Friday, I went strawberry picking with my mom, Landon, and Davis. The strawberry patch we went to had TONS of strawberries (Thanks Lori!) and in only 30 minutes we picked almost 17 pounds of berries! I was glad my mom was there because most of the time, either she or I was chasing Davis, so really just one of the two of us was picking. You can see from the pictures that we had to bribe him with a dum-dum to keep him distracted from roaming up and down the rows of berries. Landon picked probably a small bucket full. We came home, washed them and removed the stems, and then made four batches of freezer jam and froze six bags of berries. I say we, but in reality, my mom did most of it because I had to leave to chaperone at youth conference. We tasted a little this morning and it was delicious! It brought back memories of Grandma Landon's delicious jam. Thanks for your help mom!

Summer Adventures

We have had lots of fun activities planned for this week. Yesterday, we went to the children's museum. Landon and Davis had a lot of fun, and I had fun getting a workout chasing Davis all around the museum. Landon could probably stay and play in the same room the whole time, while Davis stays in each area for maybe . . . 30 seconds if I'm lucky. The one area he did stay in for awhile was the water, so that's where I have some pictures of him. He and Landon also had fun crawling through this tunnel together.

Today, we went to "pirate ship park" in Lake Oswego. We like to go there to meet Shane for lunch, but today we took a few friends. The kids had a great time riding their bikes and ride-on toys around the nice paved path that circles the park. The big teeter-totter is also always a hit, and that's what Davis and Landon are sitting on in the first picture.
