Summer: Week One

Levi and I have had a ton of fun this week!
We got to spend a drizzly (but fun) morning at the zoo with Taya and Marie.  True Oregonians still get their rain gear out in June!

We met most of my family to picnic in the park, and play in the fountain.  Levi was thrilled to run around getting wet.  That was until he slipped on the bricks and scraped up both his knees.  He was a little more timid after that big spill.

We were able to have some play time with Peggy, Zachary and Zane on Monday.  Then this morning, Peggy and I packed up the kids and tried to pick as many strawberries as we could.  All the boys picked strawberries.  But none of them had anything to show for it!

Look at the determination in that little pickers face!

Levi's showing Zane how a big boy picks berries!

This afternoon Levi and I smashed most of our berries and made freezer jam.  Gotta love that taste of summer you can enjoy in December.

Add in evening swimming lessons with Daddy, and we had one busy week.
Levi and Daddy get to go down the big blue slide tomorrow on the last day of class (Levi has two more weeks of lessons in early July).  I'll try to get back on here and post before we leave for vacation!
