Spraygrounds, Blackberries + Marshmallows

Sorry for the blogging hiatus. It's finally summer up here in the NW, and it will be gone before we know it. So we have been out and about doing summer things, and blogging has taken the back seat for a couple of weeks.

Spraygrounds might just be one of the coolest things ever. The modern day open fire hydrant. We have gone to a few this summer, and they definitely do not disappoint.



Blackberries are perfect for picking right now, and there are plenty all over the place. We walk down our road every night and choose a few. Lila + I sing a little blackberry picking song and we try to keep up with Lincoln. Berry sounds like 'boo-wee' and we all come home with purple-stained fingers and faces.





We don't offer these 2 many sweets. I mean hardly any at all. They think fruit is dessert--and in the words of our man, DJ Lance Rock, we think that is awesssoommmeee. They have had a nibble of a treat on a couple of *special* occasions, and tonight, well they hit the jackpot. We roasted marshmallows! Or as the twins called them, 'marsh'. It was super-adorable and Lincoln was in heaven. Lila thought it was cool just to hold it, but wasn't a huge fan. Next summer, SMIGLETS!

  5. I remember eating blackberries from our backyard... and eating too many of them and suffering the stomach ache later! They looks so happy and content - for kids who don't get lots of sugar. Good for you. =0)
