July 2022

Our July adventures...

We camped at Staircase in the Olympic National Forest.  We had an amazing spot next to the river.

It is summer...taking the kids to the grocery store.  Costco has so many great samples

The only berry picking we did this summer was strawberries. This summer was rainy and not warm for most things to grow.
