Strawberry Picking

It was to be a cold day at the beach so we gathered friends to meet us at the strawberry patch instead.

We found lots of big red juicy berries just right for picking

I think they may have sampled a few

Carli made sure she filled her bucket till it was overfollowing

The plants were almost as big as Bryce

He took his job of picking very seriously

and found just the right berries

Carli was all smiles as she worked her way through the patch... she loves to put her all into every task

Bryce didn't get very many berries in his bucket... I think he ate most of them

but Carli made sure she got plenty in hers

arg matey I have found treasure!

enjoying the fruits of his labor

it turned out to be a good day even if we had to miss the beach

Bryce got to go down the water slide on his last day of swim. He is doing great in the pool. He can swim across the pool the only problem is he has not figured out how to take a breath so he cannot go too far.

The pack went on a 1 mile bike ride.

My handsome man! Yep, after 12 years I still find him handsome and funny! We spent our 12th anniversary in Palm Springs laying by the pool. It was so relaxing. I feel very lucky to have him as part of my life.

Piano Recital

Carli played in her first piano recital in May. She played perfectly without any mistakes.

Plays, Campouts and Blueberries....

Carli was Sally in the play Your a Good Man Charlie Brown. She nailed her lines and sang great!

Bryce and Carli helped to build a fire on our ward campout to Hurkey Creek. We were really glad to have a fire because it got so cold at night!

Some of the kids joined in a game of kick ball...

While others went hiking and exploring.

And of course Bryce made a weapon for himself.

We had tin foil dinner and Smores

All in all the ward campout was a success!

We went to the farm to pick blueberries!!!

The kids had a great time finding big ripe ones.

Yummy... these were seriously the BEST blueberries I have ever tasted!

So far we are really enjoying our summer... we have also fit in a few swim lessons, kiddie camps, library time, trips to the pool, beach days and water park fun and we are only 2 weeks into summer ;)
