Summer birthdays are fun! Of course, Trevor's is right on the edge, and we got lucky with a hot, sunny day for his pool party, but more often than not, the Willamette valley provides rainy, cool weather well into June.
We had one kiddie pool filled with water and one with sand. It was spectacularly messy with Trevor and six young friends ranging from one to six in age. Betsy snuck off without her party favors so we are holding her kiddie fountain ransom until the weather cools off. It could come in handy for Cocktail Hour.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with our schedule, it goes like this: Friday afternoon Cocktail Hour from 3 to 5. Yesterday was the third official Cocktail Hour and we had some very refreshing mojitos made with mint pinched from Warolyn's house. (There's no gate!!! If you knew where they lived, you too could help yourself to all the mint you desire (once it grows back.))
We are coming into my favorite eating time of the year. Sara G. was fabulous enough to sacrifice two pints of her painstakingly harvested strawberries, which I mostly hoarded from Trevor's guests. Trevor picked (and ate) his first strawberry from our patch yesterday (but he hasn't found the raspberries yet, hooray!) Then it's cherries, peaches, blueberries, blackberries. Todd is reading Trevor's bedtime stories to him now: One berry, Two berry, pick me a blueberry...
