Cows, Pool, and Blueberries!

A gorgeous week of cool sleeping weather temps and perfect daytime summer temps!  The week flew by and everyone is enjoying the pool.  On Saturday, we puttered around the yard and house and on Sunday we visited friends and picked a ton blueberries!  We hope that everyone is staying happy and healthy and not being too hard on themselves while we all adjust to what life throws our way.

Ayson went with Adam to help milk cows on Tuesday night.  Afterwards, Ayson said his legs were tired BUT that he had fun and that he wanted to go again.  The highlight for Ayson: feeding the baby calves :)

Tada!  Insta-growth!




Amy had purchased the original Spirograph for a March birthday party that was canceled (along with the kiddo's friend birthday parties...now they want a party TWICE as big for next year - hahaha), so we made the Spirograph our own and had fun making intricate designs on a rainy evening.

The flower, herb, and vegetable gardens are doing amazing this year!




We roasted smores and look for the comet (no success in our valley) BUT the evening was gorgeous and the air was filled with lightening bugs!!


On Sunday, we drove to Ithaca to visit with a colleague and friend of Amy and Adam's AND to pick highbush blueberries.  In a typical year, Gian and his family pick 80 pounds of blueberries! 




The kids helped pick blueberries and they also played with Snowball, a little white fluff ball that belongs to their daughter, Emma.


We came home with over 17 POUNDS of blueberries - insane!  We could have kept on picking - there were SO many blueberries BUT we had other things that we wanted to do:)


Our other "tasks" included eating out at Bob's BBQ for lunch and swimming :)
