Spider flower in my mom's garden
We are back home after visiting my family to celebrate the 4th. This was our last road trip before baby arrives - we're planning on staying put for the next month. I didn't pick up my camera nearly as much as maybe I should have; mostly I was just enjoying the time with family, and also trying to keep up with Isaac.
Good things from our weekend:
1. Meeting my new little niece, who is now one month old. Pure sweetness.
2. Eating a fresh, local peach. Peaches have to be local. The ones you get at the grocery store that have been picked early and shipped a long way just can't begin to compare.
3. Lots of outside time for the kids, playing with cousins.
4. Sweet corn. The good stuff - local and fresh.
5. Late night chats with my sister and brother-in-law.
6. Picnic with extended family - it's always nice to catch up with everyone.
7. My mom's garden. The kids were on a mission to get rid of all the Japanese beetles, and they did a great job! Mom sent us home with potatoes and garlic.
8. Picking (and eating!) black raspberries. Isaac loved them.
9. Great weather - hot, yes. But no rain!
10. Fireworks, of course. A small town display, but still really nice, and magical for the kids.
Hope your weekend was filled with good things too!
