Summer '23

Welcoming autumn with an abundance of gratitude for the full summer we had. 


High season was kicked off with my job transition and enthusiasm about the openness of the new schedule. That, in combination with entering into a less-constrained parenting season, I was a bit over eager and we ended up doing more in these three months of summer than our previous two years in Portland combined.


Our summer days were filled with: 


A road trip to WA 

Explorations at Mount Saint Helens

Coastal camping

A bumble bee funeral 

Parks + playgrounds 

Rock + mineral museum

Third grade family camping trip

Coastal day trip hiking + tide pools 

Water parks 

Gardening 

Homemade lemonade 

A mini family reunion 






















And now let there be rest.
