Just My Rambling

Is it Tuesday already?? This summer seems to be speeding along. We just got back from an awesome camping trip down by the Oregon coast. Before we left, we were trying to decide whether to cancel the trip because it was forecasted to be storming the whole weekend. In the end, we decided to go anyway with a backup plan of staying at a hotel if it started raining. But once we got there, we were so glad that we went. The beach was gorgeous with all the sand dunes. The weather turned out really great with just sporadic spurts of showers. The kids had a blast hiding among the sand dunes and being chased by the huge waves, with supervision of course. It is amazing how creative two 4-year olds can be when they are among the sand dunes. Their imaginative mind went into full gear with stories about volcanoes, alligators, and even princesses!! Fun! I think this might just end up being a yearly summer spot for us.

The season for berry picking is here. The strawberries are first, followed by cherries, blueberries and blackberries. We’re off to pick strawberries today. Our normal strawberry patch got destroyed by the winter flood this year, so we’ll be checking out new fields to day. Hopefully we’ll get some nice and juicy strawberries.

Lil’ C will be going to Kindergarten in September!! She took the kindie exam last week and passed with flying colors. Normally there is no kindie exam but since Lil’ C will be going in to kindie a year earlier, that’s why she took the exam. I’m just glad that her Sep schooling issue has been settled and now I can start planning other stuff.

I am on my 4th load of laundry today! Love camping but don’t love the aftermath of camping. I can’t believe how much sand we brought back in our luggage!! Ugh! All the clothes smell of smoke too since we spend quite a lot of time around the campfire.

That’s all the randomness today. Off to do more laundry before heading out to the strawberrry fields. Hopefully the weather will be better. It is surprisingly cold for a summer day. Have a great day everyone!!
