We've started to pick things from the garden! Today, I tasted a jalapeno pepper, picked a tomato, and touched a bumpy cantaloupe. The tomato garden is so out of control that my Mor (Lisa) had to tie it up with cages, bamboo, and string! We have to remember not to plant so many tomato plants next year! And, the melon / gourd / squash garden has grown through the fence to the neighbors' yard (with squash growing on their side of the fence)!
I helped my mommy (Steph) put the rest of the weed barrier and pea gravel down on the paths between the raised gardens. My Mor is still working on the fence around the garden to keep the dogs and cats out.
We've picked cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, red onions, red cabbage, banana peppers, and earlier we picked cauliflower, green peppers, rhubarb, green beans, and dill. And, our other herbs (basil, mint, oregano, and thyme) are all growing like crazy, too. But, we have to wait for the corn, pumpkins, squash, cucumber, cantaloupe, and the rest of the tomatoes (more grape and cherry, Roma, yellow, yellow pear, and heirloom) to grow and ripen before we can pick them.
Now that we're back at home, I have to help get things caught up... like loading the dishwasher! Yay! I have 3 more teeth cutting this week (most of my eye teeth)... ouch.
Because it was a bit too cold and windy during both of our trips to Idaho (Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene) we opted not to go to Silverwood amusement park / water park, as we originally planned. Instead, we went to Triple Play which had an indoor water park.
Here are several photos.... I wasn't too sure about it at first, but then I splashed in the water area for smaller kids, like me. And, I even floated with my moms in the wave pool on a big inner tube. The big red "bowl" behind me when my mommy (Steph) was carrying me, was the big Veloco-Vortex. My mommies went down it, and I'm pretty sure I heard my Mor (Lisa) screaming! I had a good laugh with my grandma Terri (my Mor's birth mother) after telling her a story... the acoustics are very good in an indoor water park, good for shouting out animal noises, and such!
When we were in Spokane, we had a BBQ at my grandma Terri's house (my Mor's birth mother), and I got to meet a bunch of my Mor's (Lisa's) birth family. It was also a surprise (belated) birthday party for my Mor! I let my aunt Andi (black short sleeved blouse) hold me and also my great-aunt Megan (white and black plaid shirt / blonde hair) got to hold me, too. I just take a little while to warm up to people I just don't know very well, especially in a new / different place!
