The Crazy Bike

Tonight CJ rode this bike into the air at Chuck E Cheese. We were there for a birthday party. She had fun, as usual.

Dinner Out With The Girls



Saturday Bike Ride

This morning we rode our bikes to the Used Gear Sale at REI. We all found some goodies to buy. Afterwards we took CJ out to enjoy the sun at Jamison Fountain (via the ice cream store across the street - notice the chocolate on her lip).

Here's CJ modeling her new find - this super cute flower helmet. Perfect timing as we'd just noticed a crack in her old one.

Freezer Jam

Step One: Mash the berries.
Step Two: Mix the sugar and pectin.
Step Three: Mix the sugar/pectin into the berries.
Step Four: Pour into freezer containers. Let sit 30 minutes and then freeze.
Step Five: Enjoy!

Berry Picking

Three years ago we went to a birthday party where we picked blueberries and raspberries. They were so yummy. Mama had plans to go back and pick berries again, but didn't realize it would take three years. Wow.

It was a hot day and we had the place pretty much to ourselves:
CJ found some great berries hiding in the bushes:
We cooled off in the farm sprinklers:
And sat in the shade enjoying much needed sno-cones before heading home:

Observant Girl

Much of Mama's short run with CJ on bike is along Bike Boulevards. On one of them we noticed that someone had a little fun with the paint.

We saw Batman:
Smiley Faces:

And even a bunny alien:

Flower Girl

Excited that Mama doesn't have any decks to stain today...
