Today was a perfect day. Blue skies and sunshine, and we got to spend it with wonderful friends picking berries on Sauvie Island. Rows of flowers, fruit and vegetables went on for miles, with the peaks of Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood majestically standing out against the clear blue sky. Zoë and Clara had so much fun together riding in the wagon, "picking" and eating raspberries and blue(green)berries,
throwing said raspberries and blue(green)berries (much to our dismay and their delight!), playing hide-n-seek in the bushes, and rolling in the dirt.
Chrysia and I had a fantastic time picking as much fruit as we possibly could while still managing to stuff some in our mouths. Or...maybe it was eating as much fruit as we could while still managing to put some in our buckets for later. :) The raspberries were delicious!
After the ride home, we hoped the girlies would take a nap in the same room - and they DID! It was a miracle! Meanwhile, Chrysia and I made raspberry honey jam, and still had some time left over to sit outside and chat while the girls slept.
And to top it all off, the girls finished the day with some fun in the pool, with a "built-in" waterslide! Coolest thing ever.
This just might be the best Monday in the history of Mondays Zoë and I have had together. Thanks Clara and Chrysia for making it happen!
