The goal I set this month to make new friends was difficult. I knew it would be. Life is busy, and it's hard to get people to take time away from what they know and give me a chance. In addition to trying to get some people together to pick berries, I've also made a huge (for me) effort to be more friendly and talk to other moms at Levi's swimming and sports camps. I've been amazed at how just saying "good morning" opens people up to engage in more conversations. I've especially hit it of with a mom who's two daughters (ages 6 and 4) are in Levi's sports camps. I haven't worked up the courage to ask for her contact information...that's my goal before Thursday.
Here are some photos from Levi's swimming and sports camps for the grandparent readers:

Levi and I also randomly ran into one of his friends from school at the library this afternoon when we went to see a clown presentation. I'm so glad we did! Levi loved sitting next to Roman, and laughing with him at the clowns silly rhymes. Plus, they are getting out their slip and slide tomorrow and asked if we would be interested in coming over after baseball camp. So awesome!
We've also been fortunate this month to spend time with some long time friends. My friend Sarah is back in town for the summer from Japan, so all the girls (and kids) got together last week to visit. We've also been lucky to spend some time with my dear friend Peggy and her boys during their visit from LA. We enjoyed a presentation from knights at the library about the science of sword fighting.
Played some at the park.
And picked raspberries (between rain showers)!
Hopefully we'll be able to spend some more time together before they leave on Thursday. I know for sure Peggy and I are going to go out without the little boys! A true best friend is definitely one you see twice a year but somehow it doesn't matter because you can always pick up right where you leave off!
OK...I've put off doing my homework for my summer class long enough!

Loved your post and all your pics. XOXOXOXO
Good start to summer. Thanks for the great pictures. Glad to see the fun everyone is having. Karin is coming up soon for 4th of July fireworks and taking flora swimming. Got my garden tilled yesterday and then a last minute wedding when to perform for same family so it worked out well for all of us. She did not know I could still do weddings but was pleased I could step in when city hall closed before bride's family was late.
