Summer 2013

My daisies

     Well it is definitely summer time.  My daisies are in full bloom, the strawberries are coming in like crazy and we picked a ton of cherries.  The rest of the vegetable garden is coming in nicely.  Was able to enjoy some lettuce from the garden this week also.  

    The weather has been unpredictable.  We will have a few hot days and then it goes back into the 60s for a few days.  Had close to 5 inches of rain last night.  Won't need to water for a while.

Colton and his Ryno Rhino

     Nothing says summer though more than a trip to Wrigley Field.  We took Colton to his first Cubs game on Sunday.  It was Build a Bear Ryno Rhino day.  The rhino seemed to be a very popular give away for infants.  I saw at least 8 just around our section alone.  The little ones seemed to enjoy gnawing on Ryno's horn.  It was so cute to see.

     It was a long day because we had to get there early enough for Colton to get his rhino and then the Cubs won 14-6 so lots of scoring.  PJ and Kate came along also so it was a fun family day.

     Later that evening Jinny and Bob came by and helped us pick cherries.  We picked for a while until the bugs got too bad.  I had Colton in a Snugli on front.  While I was picking cherries he was pulling off leaves.  I had to keep stopping to get them out of his hand and mouth but he was having a blast.  Next year maybe he will pick cherries instead.

     And just one last thing to say, congrats to the Chicago Blackhawks, Stanley Cup Champs!!!
