it's finally here. Summer, glorious Oregon summer.
Summer means I'm in a constant sun high and most days feel like a celebration. And celebrations need to be documented. WARNING: lots of photos to come.
This dreamy Northwest summer doesn't come cheap--we pay for it with a lot of rain and gloomy days throughout the year. But come July? It's on. Summer is sacred. Work and projects and formal commitments are kept to the bare minimum and there's not much on the schedule other than to pick berries, play with water, go camping once or twice and and just BE OUTSIDE.
Bei Bei (Joe's brother) is in town for the holiday and we went for blueberries today.
This little free spirit loves to roam around and explore. Dandelions were her thing today.
We brought home close to twenty pounds of berries and some sweet pictures of these two:
We are so excited to celebrate tomorrow. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
:D Happy 4th July!!!....
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are just delicious! Nothing like the pure joy of kiddos enjoying a Northwest summer.
ReplyDeletePriceless pics. Is there a way to comment on one specifically? I'm so new to this I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the one of your two men, obviously having finished their tasks, heading for their truck and home. I'm so glad my grandson has the dad he has to model, aren't you?
Yes, I am. He's got a great daddy and teacher who just pours so much goodness into his life :)
DeleteI think the only way to comment is through the comment box at the end of each post. I love that photo, too... Elias holding that hat like a little man!
