We were so excited to join Aunt Jen, Janie, and Henry at Greenbluff earlier this month to get in on the fruit harvest! Jen had a couple of favorite spots: we picked raspberries at the Harvest House and then we picked cherries at Siemers' Farm. (I was also after zucchini, but their "baby" zucchinis weren't as big as my thumb, so I couldn't bear to pick them yet!) My fingers were too red to take pictures, but I did snag this one of Joshy. Funny thing...no matter how many he picked, his bucket never got more full than what you see here. We each tried to only eat THREE (I know, completely unrealistic, but we tried it...) but this boy's red mouth and red fingers told us that he was having trouble counting correctly. :)
Gracie and I found a recipe for Raspberry Blondies, and she is loving to help bake in the kitchen these days, so she assisted in this creation. She poured, scooped, and sprinkled all sorts of ingredients. We thought a lot about Aunt Debbie while we made these, because she's been known to crave the Maple Nut Blondie at Applebee's...oh, and if you're wondering, half of the bars have crushed almonds on top for Jeff and I, and half are without for our protein-free eaters. (Okay, maybe 1/3 and 2/3...our kids are going to have an awful time learning fractions in this house!)
And this is the only picture I took at a summer BBQ we were invited to at Jen and Kevin's. The kids had a great time in the sprinkler and the kiddie pool, while the adults ate our way through the evening. Granny and Pappy, G-G, G'ma Colleen and Papa Scott, and the Largents were all there, as were Kevin's parents. Ah, those summer nights! :)
