Summatime

Summer is passing by and I'm not doing a good job documenting...I think that's a good thing!

The kids and I went to a "parade" in Corvallis on the 4th. I thought it was the funniest parade. Anyone can be in it. We could have stood up and declared we were part of the parade. Lots of bikes and walkers. Lots of candy that made Cody and Macey happy. People would hand candy out instead of throwing it. I'm not going to lie, it's not Kaysville parade but it did the job.

 After the parade we went to the aquatic center in Corvallis, just a $1 entry fee that day. Perfect! Then to a bbq to meet some of our sweet new ward members.

Berries grow like weeds around here. It's like heaven. We went and picked TONS of raspberries. This huge bucket was $3 and we ate as many while we picked (apparently they factor that into the price:))!

 This is at a street party we WALKED to (I love that things are close!). Cody is driving a robot that the high school robot team built. Kinda cool.

 This is a small part of our house. I had envisioned that I would clean and take a picture of every room, but seriously, it's summer and our house won't ever be clean. But we love it. Notice the not-white-wall. sweet! And you get the idea. Dining area to the right, living room connected to the left. Bedrooms back there.

 Before I get ahead of myself I have to say the first day we got here we decided to take a walk on our bike path. (Sidenote: Now, the bike path is so close to our house you could throw a cough drop at it. I know because right as we first got here I chucked one over our fence (we had never been here mind you) and I pegged a biker. sheesh.)
So, Cody and Macey hopped on their bikes and we went to two parks close by then on for a longer ride. We got tangled up and I ended up falling, holding the stroller and skidding down the street with my fingers pinned under the stroller. I saw bits of skin on the road. For the next couple days just having drops of water on my fingers was super painful. And Macey's hair was legitimately crazy those days.

I'm back. Here's a car show. Again we walked to it. Love it!

 Cody's favorite car.

 The kids shared a snow cone. I want to say this is the first snow cone they've had. maybe. They sure enjoyed it though.

I've progressively gotten worse at pictures. Today we went to Alsea Falls. It's beautiful there and just a short windy drive from our house.
I love that there's so much to do in the summer!!!!!
