Summer Fun

Here's a bit of a photo dump of stuff we've been up to recently.  The end is approaching (drama queen!) much too fast so I'm trying to make every week full of fun stuff.

We went for a walk on our favourite trail.  It's amazing to remember that the first time we went there she was a tiny baby in a Baby Bjorn, she walked the whole thing without a single piggy-back ride for the first time.  We collected pocketfuls of flowers and got a bit rained on but it was a gorgeous day.  Damp and humid and the air smelled green and earthy.  We found wild strawberries too although they didn't taste that great.




We took a last trip to the Meijer Gardens and packed in playdates galore.



She did Bug Camp at the Nature Centre and seemed to really enjoy it.  It was maybe a little bit young for her although she fit the age range.  That year of school has been kind of amazing.  That and the extra year of life maybe! She seems so confident and curious, hope it lasts!





And we added two more fruits to our upick stash, blueberries and raspberries.  Blueberries are such a treat.  They are the only fruit or veg that I won't buy at the supermarket so we really only have them once a year.  Picking that first fat juicy one off the bush is one of my favourite things in life!  The little sour jobs in Meijer bear no resemblance at all.
