Every time we go to Shoreline park Livia asks to do the pedalboats. Usually I'm all by myself with the girls, and Jane is too little to ride. So one weekend we stole Chase away from his studying and he took Liv out on the water.
It would have been better if she was tall enough to reach the pedals, though!
The girls love going to the park with their daddy!
June is also ollalieberry season, so we headed down to Gizdich ranch with some friends and picked several pounds worth.
The girls enjoyed playing on the tractor, and Livia, Emerson, and Waverly helped me make jam the next day.
That night we went camping with our friends, the McPhies, up in China Camp state park.
The girls slept surprisingly well, and had a lot of fun! The only real incident was that Jane woke up cold during the night so I put her in my sleeping bag with me. Not a big deal, except at some point she head-butted me and gave me a huge fat lip. Awesome.
Ty posed this picture all by himself and was pretty excited about it. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
Liv had her first experience climbing a tree! She was extremely proud of herself.
And Jane just melted us all with her deep blue eyes. She also got really, really dirty.
We ended the trip with a quick hike, during which all the kids melted down and ended up being carried. Ah well, we tried.
Growing up, my family camped all the time, so I really do enjoy trips like this! And a big shout out goes to Rachel, who spent hours on the phone figuring out a place for us to camp (we didn't even think about the fact that it was the 4th of July weekend, and everything for miles around was booked)!
