Summer Happenings

We have really been enjoying the summer sun. We have been trying to get outside as much as possible to store up the vitamin D before winter. Orrin is still in school so we have been trying to plan some summer fun on the weekends.

Berry Picking is one of my most favorite things to do.

The summer sun was heating up the strawberries and it smelled so good. Everyone picking the strawberries were talking about how wonderful it smelled. They were the best strawberries I had ever tasted!!








Of course the Blueberries were a hit too. They are my favorite. Brad was able to pick some for himself and they went straight into his mouth. He had so many berries.



We have also been going on lots of walks, bike rides, and hikes. We decided to try out one of the many trails on Marquam Hill which is the hill that Orrin's school is on. It was so weird to start up the trail and really feel like you are in the middle of the forest and not see a hint of civilization but knowing that through the trees are homes, stores and the Hospital/School. It's really a cool hill. I have gotten lost on it a few times so I have been able to see a lot of it.


We have also gone swimming. We have a pool here at our apartment and the boys have also been taking swimming lessons (which they love).
