Everything else June.

Brian had church meetings one Sunday all day, so I took the girls on a Sunday walk after their naps.

Costco fun.

Our neighborhood has a huge garage sale every Father’s Day weekend.  The house two doors down from us puts up a bouncy house for all of the kids, and Elna had an absolute blast!

Elna wanted to go on the merry-go-round, and Hattie wanted the other ride, but we had used our only two quarters, so Brian put her on it and just shook it with his hands, and Harriet never knew the difference.

Look who showed up at swim lessons?  I was totally surprised and so was Elna.  She was so thrilled!

Elna jumping to her teacher, Bob.  Every time she gets a new teacher, she gets very nervous about getting in for lessons.  With Bob, she didn’t get in for her first full lesson until the last 2 minutes of the class.  After that she was fine, but that first day is always hard for her with a new teacher.

A few days later they showed up at swim lessons again!

After swim lessons, DeWin and Barbara stopped by the house to see our backyard and pick berries with Elna.  Elna and Papa got into a little water fight.  Elna thought she was pretty funny when she started it.

Hydrangeas from our backyard.  My favorite!

Raspberry picking in our backyard.  She is the most committed picker in our family.  She asks usually once a day if she can go out an pick raspberries.  She loves to bring in berries to give me and Brian, but mostly she eats them herself.

I love these pictures.  Harriet was in a very affectionate mood, and was initiating all of this hugging.  She’s a sweet girl and I love their relationship!
