Sprinklers

We have an amazing playground and sprinklers at the apartment complex where I live. It has been a great and fun way to cool off this summer:

Off-road picking

On Sunday, we traveled up north to pick blueberries and sour cherries at an orchard. We picked A LOT! I think I definitely ate more than I picked, especially blueberries. I also had fun talking with the other pickers and the farmer...



(and yes, the highlight of the day may have been when I got to ride shotgun between the cherry orchard and the blueberry patch)

Loom

This was Grandma Hollenbeck's potholder loom. I wonder how long before I finish.....

Ava & Anya (a.k.a. Thelma & Louise)

Waterside Kids' Disco Night:

Freckleface Strawberry

The past three years I have gone strawberry picking. When I was 2, it was just for entertainment purposes, my mouth served as the basket. When I was 3, I placed a few in the basket, but mostly roamed the patch yelling from afar "Look how big this one is Mama/Daddy!". This year, I picked an entire basket and ate an entire belly full and had a really, really great time.

Play

This weekend was Grandpa Wagner's 70th birthday so we made a surprise visit to Ohio!!! I had a lot of fun playing with my cousins too. Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Bye Bye Chloe!

This week was my last week with Chloe, my babysitter. She graduated from NYU and is moving back to Florida to be a teacher. I am really going to miss her!
