Walker’s friends

August 14, 2013

I mentioned yesterday that a couple of Walker’s good friends were in town this past weekend. I also posted a pretty silly video of us all while they were here. We didn’t capture a lot of their time here because we were so caught up in the moment. There was one evening where we all went to the park and first picked blackberries and ate them right off the bushes and then we sat on the shore by the water and threw rocks in the air and tried to hit them with other rocks. We did that for quite a while. It was so simple but so much fun and I was glad to have a moment that I couldn’t capture with my phone or camera (I left them at home) so I had to soak up the moment a little bit more with my eyes, my nose, and my hands. It was a good night.

Anyhow here are a few pictures from the weekend during one of the many times we were beer tasting.

Pearl snap day 2013

August 13, 2013

Today I hope to make you laugh a little with this funny video. This past weekend Walker had 2 of his good friends in town and we all decided to wear pearl snap shirts on the same day. This event happened all over Seattle on this particular day. It was hilarious. I enjoyed letting loose a little and just having fun.

A summer day

August 1, 2013

Note: It is not a Monday but I will be mentioning berries.

The other day I got an invitation to go berry picking in a nearby park. I was also told I would be able to swim so I slipped on my suit and covered it up with a t-shirt and pants so I wouldn’t get too scratched up.

It was a warm summer day and we were out around the hottest time of day in the full sun picking berries. I was seriously happy as I could be. I didn’t even really mind so much that I was getting stuck my the blackberries bushes or probably burned by the sun (whoops no sunscreen again) I was just finally enjoying having a day that really felt like summer.

I picked a decent amount of berries and decided I was ready for a swim. I found a nice little spot that was easy to get in and went for it. And by “went for it” I mean walked in slowly while adjusting to the water and them finally getting in all the way. I swam around a bit letting the waves push me back to shore and then I’d swim back out and do it again. Finally I went to a shallow area and just sat in the water enjoying the boats in the distance and the cold waves splashing my body. When I was finally done with the water I dried a little bit on the shore before finding my friends.

Then I went skipping around in the blackberry bushes in my bathing suit in the hot sun and I felt like a kid again-just for a few moments-and it was wonderful.
