Blueberry picking

Last weekend while we visited Shaun's family we went blueberry picking. I was really excited to take Cecilia. I thought she would really get it this year. Last year she kept trying to eat them off the ground. She took right to it and I only had to tell her once to pick the dark ones and she got it. She definitely got her fill of blueberries though because we went back later in the day to pick more and she didn't want to eat any. Between the two pickings we had 26 pounds. I know we are crazy, but they were 86 cents a pound! That is practically giving them away! Which we did lots of after we picked 26 pounds of berries.

Summer dinner

I've been meaning to take a picture of every dinner we've made this
week and blog about it but I've been too hungry to do it before I
scarf it down. We've had all quintessential summer meals, grilled
twice, lots of corn on the cob from my parents garden, blueberries
that we picked in Oregon (I'll tell you about that next). Just plain
old yummy summer meals. It has been wonderful! Last night we made
beat salad with beats from my parents garden, and mushroom pasta with
mushrooms we bought at the farmers market. Yay for summer!

Carrousel

I took Cecilia to the zoo last week. It was a scorcher of a day. So we tried to cool off with a ride on the carrousel. "Tried" being the operative word. I was surprised she picked the rhino to ride, but she insisted and never wavered. Cecilia enjoyed it so much she didn't want to get off, we were the last ones out.
