Well, on these hot summer days, we’ve been busy going to the pool (I have no pics as it’s difficult enough to bring in 3 kids, towels, pool bag, etc), and staying inside with AC to keep cool. But we have done a few HOT activities this week. One night we went to our friends, the Glausier’s blueberry field to pick. We go there every year and get TONS of berries. The kids enjoy eating them right off the bush! 
We got 9 1/2 pounds, and sweated to get them! But they are oh so yummy and worth it. As you can see, I have to hand Lukey almost as many berries as I put in my bucket, and Josh and Mallory enjoyed picking and playing with Robert (who’s parents own the field!)
So on Friday nights sometimes we enjoy family fun nights. We always do a fun meal (usually homemade pizza) and a fun dessert. In the winter our night may include watching a movie with snacks by a roaring fire. In spring or fall this has included roasting smores on the firepit. For the 1st time, this last week, we did a Sorenson family fun/work night. We have decided we want to clean out the woods behind our house to make them more enjoyable and useful! After dinner we headed outside to begin by cleaning up sticks. We would use Joey’s dad’s truck to haul the wood we’d gather and put them on a big burn pile on the extra lot next too us. Problem was, it was 586 degrees and the air resembled the Egyptian plague of gnats. But I kept reminding the fam of our desired result: wonderful woods to frolic in, and Joey kept reminding Josh of the hard working Almonzo from Farmer Boy. But our work was cut short when Joey lifted a pile of logs out back and was stung by some kind of evil wasp. But I did get a few pics before the incident. Oh well, we have decided to finish our projectwhen it turns a LOT cooler!
