Apparently the lack of sunshine and buckets of rain this little La Nina gal brought have not only dampened my spirits but those of the huckleberry in Montana. On any other year, the berries would be so abundant that the bears would have handed us the buckets get at all those little shrubs loaded with fruit. But this year I found 10.
Fortunately there were many other events during my yearly August pilgrimage to Montana (Ryan always has business to attend in Brazil in August) to redeem the huckleberries.
#1 My kids get some serious Grandpa/Grandma time
#2 Lots of swimming! Kate learned to swim this summer, all alone. It's great.
#3 Lots of time with Mom and Dad, for me
Of course, the fair.
Going backwards, this is what we've been doing....
Kate's, no fuss, all girl (plus 4 boys that she just had to have), all pink, fantastic four-year-old princess birthday party. Talk about fun fully loaded with lots of sugar.
Cake compliments of Grammy, thank you Grammy!
We grew two kids a little and these two weeds alot!
Had Ryan's birthday, of course with breakfast in bed.
Ryan's birthday ended with his favorite people doing his favorite thing: dinner at the park. The kids played and played. We had his favorite food: roast beef, boursin, red onion on sourdough sandwiches.
Happy summer had by all.
I was just searching for birthday cake ideas and saw your blog. Darling cake. Well done!
