Today we attended the Portland Parkways event at Director's Park downtown, which is more like a nice little square in the middle of downtown with a restaurant and a fountain. Christian was very hesitant to get his feet wet but once he was in we practically had to drag him outta there...
Yesterday we went berry picking at Sauvie Island. Leelee loves raspberries, so imagine my surprise when he was not interested in hand-picking his very own selection. Major disappointment! So mom was left doing all the dirty work, as seen below. Meanwhile, Dae and Christian were very picky in inspecting each and every berry before either 1) eating it or 2) placing it into my basket. For the most part, the good ones were eaten on the spot. I was a little less finicky in my selection. I had decided to try making freezer jam for the first time so quantity was higher on my list than quality. After all his hard work, Leelee was rewarded with corn on the cob and a nice refreshing water.
Coated in butter...a rare treat
Very careful quality control, plus a staredown from Leelee
Getting down and dirty
Friday night we had a sleepover with Mal and Didi. Caramel apples were the big event of the night and it took all of about 10 minutes for the apples to be prepared and dipped. The remaining few hours of the evening were spent watching movies and Dae and I debating whether or not 3 kids sleeping in one room was going to work out. After about one hour and 5-6 openings of the door with "____ hit me" (insert any name here, usually Leelee) we decided to separate Robertson's from Lee's. The rest of the night went off without a hitch!
I was at parkways too! Yum apples. Impressive with the sleepover at that age! How are u feeling these days? Where are all the belly profile photos this time around?
