Bike Ride at Frenchman's Bar

This past weekend we loaded up the bikes on the back of the van and drove down to Frenchman's Bar along the Columbia River.  There is a great bike trail that we were super excited to try out.

We stopped for a rest at Hector and Louis' favorite fishing spot.

After the ride, we had a picnic on the beach and the kids played in the sand and water.

Strawberries

Even though we don't have a very big vegetable garden here, I turned a whole raised bed into a strawberry patch.  After a couple years of pretty piddly yields, our strawberry plants really started producing this summer (as you can see by the picture here).

The kids really love the strawberries (it's pretty much the only thing in the garden that both of them will eat).

I don't think any of our strawberries have actually made it into the house yet.
