Family Feast Night at the Indians Baseball Game

We were lucky enough again this year to get to go to a game and sit with our neighbors who have season tickets. They are right behind the dugout so the seats are great and Bobby was able to put up his foot since it was just 4 days after surgery. The best part according to Mia was the ice cream. We love going on the family feast nights since the hot dogs, ice cream, and sodas are only one dollar. To top it off it was a beautiful night and the Indians won.

Excited for the game to start.

I got an ice cream sandwich to share with Mia. She ate at least half. And then Daddy got one that Mia snagged a bunch of. Same with Shelby. I am sure she had much more than any of the rest of us had.

One reason I love summer

This year was such a long spring that the strawberries didn't ripen up very early. I thought it would be perfect to take Mia the week before I started my Whitworth class to pick at Greenbluff like we have the past 2 years. I knew that I wouldn't be able to take her once class started since it was from 8 am to 4 pm every day. Whew! That wasn't fun. But anyway, we went up and everything was dead quiet and closed. I silently stewed in my class all week that I was going to miss picking with Mia and making freezer jam this year. (we have all been dying for some since we ran out a few months back). THANK GOODNESS the weather decided to cooperate and the strawberries lasted well into July (never happens) and so Shelby got to go with us too. We picked around 16 pounds and made lots of jam. We also found out that the liquid pectin does not work with freezer jam (though it says it does) so we ended up with some syrup too. Yum.

Some Summer - and our little model!

Sometimes I think she is just about ready to go off to Kindergarten, like in this picture.

Wearing Shelby's glasses!

This is how she wanted me to take a picture at the rather chilly 4th of July picnic.

One of my new favorites.

Digging in the dirt with the big girls. She loved playing with the older Jones girls.

We went to Discovery park with Holly, Bradyn and Camdyn. What a great partk. This little yellow thing spings around and around. What fun.
