Jamison Square

Erin and I took the kids to Jamison Square Friday for some splash park fun. I don't prefer to go to this waterpark because it gets super crowded and it is in a pretentious part of town. We had a great time though, it was fun to people watch and we had lunch at a nearby burrito joint. The kids lasted in the water for about an hour, they had a blast.

Berry Picking

Libby and I took Cooper, Emory and Larkin berry picking on Monday. It was a hot hot day out in the fields but we all had a great time. We decided we wouldn't go back to this farm in the future. It's hard to find a u-pick farm open on Monday. We are going to do it again soon, maybe out in the Gorge where the weather is a bit cooler. We picked a lot of blueberries, the blackberries were not consistently sweet or ripe.

I forgot to bring hats for the kids so we used umbrellas from the car and lots of sunscreen. There was a play structure at the farm that the kids enjoyed before and after picking berries.

Here they are in the field.

Larkin was busy running through the fields on her own and picking the green berries.
Here is our blueberry bounty.

Swim Class

I took some pictures of Cooper's swim class on Thursday. He is doing really well, getting way more comfortable in the pool. He will put his face in the water now. He has one more week of swim class and then we are going to sign him up for the fall. He continues to ask if we are going to the "shark slide" pool. The community center has swim classes that he took last year and they have a shark slide. It took him awhile to warm up to this pool, with no shark slide and deep water. They use step platforms for the kids to stand on in the pool, they call it Strawberry Island. He is enjoying himself and he is getting way more confident in the water.
