What day is it? I'm losing track. Wednesday, maybe? The morning was needed for relaxing since the day before was so busy and tiring. Eve got some sweet snuggle time with Grandma Bucky.
Later in the afternoon, when I got back from Bellingham, a group of us headed to Sauvie Island. It's a small island just outside of Portland with lots of orchards and berry farms. Since we were there sort of between seasons and during the week, we were the only ones there and had the whole place to ourselves. Apparently it's usually extremely crowded. It's beautiful!
That's a big tractor...
With big wheels! Biggest hamster wheel I've ever seen.
They had a corn maze there, but it was close to closing time, and we weren't sure how the kids would do in it. We opted for the hay maze. The kids loved it, although neither one had any trouble finding their way through.
Buck found this on the ground. Gross!
I suppose Eve decided while on a farm, do as the farm animals do...if you don't want to go in that direction, don't budge...
until you're lured with food (hmmm, I think I'm noticing a trend with Eve and Uncle Greg - she actually ate almost all his food that afternoon. He had to keep buying more).

Old pros
She's somewhat of a professional, herself.
The blueberries were perfect for nibbling. I think we took a few home. As with all other produce picking adventures we've been on this year, we paid at least double because a lot more find their way to our bellies than the basket.
Yummy peaches. John got stung by a bee for the first time shortly after this. Poor guy. He cried a little, but really handled it well.
Yep, I'd say he recovered.
Silly monkeys in a tree!
