The Flavor of Summer

My very favorite treat of summertime is a small twist with rainbow sprinkles. And for some reason the west just doesn't decorate their streets with ice cream stands like upstate NY.
Thank goodness for vacation!

Summer Pastimes

We left for a walk in the woods. You can tell how happy baby bejos was about the adventure.

And then we found some wild blackberries along the trail.

We met up with mr. bejos at the water's edge where the tools of the perfect summer pastime were strewn about.

mr. bejos had a few moments of solitude before we arrived. On his second cast of the day he even landed himself a 14-16" bass he tried to keep until we arrived.

Even with our presence he was able to pull a few more from the river.

Inapporpriate dinner behavior

We had fun playing with our spaghetti at dinner tonight. 

They worked as straws

 with water,

 with wine,

 with beer,

and with soda. 

Mama and Papa's garden

We were sent, en masse, to harvest veggies for dinner last night. 

While there was picking going on, there was a little bit of munching happening too.

Let the sun shine in

Window washing was on the "to do" list at Nana and Grandpa's house this week

Mr Bejos had a helper who shadowed his every move

 and although he looks miserable....

he was tickled to be allowed on the roof with uncle bejos

playground equipment isn't what it used to be

Grass and Water

Baby bejos is LOVING the expanses of green grass and the abundance of water

summer

Grass Update...continued

Someone actually asked me for an update on mr. bejos's grass patches. And although it borders on mundane and completely ridiculous... here it is

 Looking pretty lush these days, don't you think?

California

When not at the festival we enjoyed a whole lotta this
