The Sweet Taste of Summer!

Ninja kour is going really well and I got moved up to the advanced class which is 2 days a week. Mama said I could do it, but if I did then I couldn't play soccer too. We weren't sure if soccer was even going to happen because of Covid, so I chose ninja kour. Grandma went on a backpacking trip to finish the PCT Oregon, so we went to Roseburg to pick blackberries, pears and play at the river with papa at Miss Merry's house. I ate a lot of the berries and some apples from her tree too. They feed the apples to the deer and we got to see them super close. The Wieking Family went on a family trip, so we went and harvested their garden while they were gone. We got so many yummy tomatoes and I ate so many that mama said I might turn into one! We made lots of pizza sauce and dried some tomatoes too. Mama ordered Bella a new gymnastics suit and I thought it would be funny if I wore it with my wrestling head gear, but she didn't think it was very funny. We used some left over sauce and made spaghetti for dinner and it was the best thing ever! I got invited to a wrestling practice in someone's shop in central point, so I started going once or twice a week. We got to play at the Wieking's house again while our mama's canned sauce and pears. Demian and I rode the wagon down the hill and giggled every time we crashed. We were supposed to meet grandma at the end of her hike, but papa got sick and was in the hospital for a whole week. Grandma finished early and mama went up to be with papa for a couple of days.  Lala came down to watch us for a couple of days and then she took us school clothes shopping.

I picked so many strawberries from the garden and then helped mama make homemade biscuits and whipping cream for strawberry shortcake. We had it a lot and it was delicious. The deer at Miss Merry's were so cute and after we picked berries I jumped into the river. We picked lots of pears from her tree so mama could can them for me with honey. Miss Katie from the gym had her baby girl Eden and we took them dinner and I got to hold her. She was so tiny and sweet and I could have held her forever. School clothes shopping with Lala was fun and we got to stop at the hospital and have dinner with papa outside at a picnic table on our way home. I helped mama make sauce and Aven and I helped our mama's by taking the pear cores to the chickens. Mama made me a sunflower dress and miss Audra took pictures of Aven and I in her sunflowers.
