The previous two posts were also in July but this is the random extras that didn't quite fit in. We went to see the fireworks in Edmonds, a small town next to ours. We hadn't bargained for fireworks not starting until 10 pm because it stays light so late here. The kids were good sports about the whole thing. We celebrated Pioneer day with napkin bonnets. Lastly but perhaps most importantly, in late July we made a very important discovery while riding bikes on the bike trail behind our house, wild blackberries. Along most of the bike trail, as well as all around town, there are wild blackberry bushes. We picked probably upwards of 10 pounds of blackberries during July and August. We made cobblers, jam, smoothies, sorbet, and of course ate them fresh. It was a wonderful discovery. Next year we will probably pick considerably fewer raspberries knowing that we can get all the blackberries that we want for free. :)
