Good Bye Summer

Its hard to say good bye to summer, my favorite season. Here are some of our highlights!

Late spring Beaver Baseball:

 Alice & Wonderland Ballet:

 Picking Peaches. (Which is way more my style than blueberry picking. This took us 5 minutes.)

 Holding newborn babies - Ashlyn especially loves this job!

Visiting a cheese factory...

 And enjoying an epic ice cream cone experience (aka a giant mess that involved a smidge of crying because someone was not too happy about wearing a "chocolate dress.")

 Rode an open air historic train...

Visited a real farm, with a couple of farm kids...

 Goofed off with old friends:

 Went to the fair:

 Enjoyed an outdoor concert in the Park!

 Took a jet boat ride on the Willamette. (We made this look like so much fun Grandpa & Grandma had to try & they took Connor, AGAIN!)

 Enjoyed *just a few* popsicles with "Daddy Bibs" on...

 Watched a fire in our neighborhood :(

 Taught our seven year old how to cook 5 essential meals like pancakes, macaroni & cheese, and oatmeal (so he can basically run the household on his own for a couple of days if we decide to go on a "parenting-vacation").

 "Helped" Janeen open gifts for Baby Rainey (aka "fetus")!

 And of course, we made some time for a bit of good ole fashion Lego building. (Approximately EVERY. DAY. THIS. WHOLE. SUMMER. Connor even built Legos at a few parks, at the pool-side, at Grandma's, etc. I mean its just not summer if he can't be building. Am I right?)

Good Bye Summer of 2015. You were good to us!
