Blueberry Picking

Saturday Andrew and I went to a farm in Eugene and picked blueberries and they are delicious. They were sitting on our counter for a few days and every time I walked by I would grab a few of the fattest ones - yum! In just under an hour we picked a huge bag full and it is a great feeling to have so many blueberries that you can eat handful after handful and not be limited by that tiny expensive container you buy from the store! We had blueberries on our oatmeal, blueberries for snack, and blueberry pudding pie for dessert. Anyone want to come visit?

Andrew's motto was: "One for the bucket, three for my mouth."

Any guess what this is a picture of?


Maybe this one will help:

Yup, that's right, that's my belly from my perspective! When I look down, I can no longer see my feet (unless I stick them out like I did for the second picture). Kind of a weird feeling.

I also had another weird pregnancy experience this week. It happened one sunny afternoon when Andrew was waiting for me in the car in the garage. I came out of the house and walked around the car but when I tried to squeeze past the bike handle bars leaning against the garage wall and the car mirror I found I couldn't fit! Andrew was inside the car cracking up and I was just looking down at my belly in shock! Now every time we get in the car together Andrew has to pull out first and when we get home he has to let me get out before he pulls in so I can waddle to the door without getting stuck!

4th of July, Florence, OR

Andrew and I had a wonderful 4th of July in Florence again this year. We went down on Friday night and hiked to our favorite lighthouse on the beach, Heceta Head. We stayed at a charming bed and breakfast in Old Town and Saturday we did a long day hike at Cape Perpetua. We love hiking so much and we love that there are such beautiful places to enjoy only an hour from home. I carried the baby for the whole hike, so Andrew was kind enough to carry the backpack for the whole hike :)

Enjoying the ocean view at the base of the lighthouse.

We also enjoyed ice cream at the yummy ice cream shop in Old Town...


...and we may have tasted the salt water taffy too!


Then we bundled up to watch the fireworks show. They shoot them off over the Suislaw river where it opens up into the ocean. Very cool.


Obviously my firework photography needs a little help.
Here is the best picture I could get of the show.
