Kate went on her first berry picking expedition today and collected LOTS of strawberries. Six pounds to be exact! We even through caution to the wind and let her eat some...despite not yet being one (the recommended strawberry-eating age), she seems to have survived. We fed them to her while she was skinny dipping in the pool, which was fortunate since she made quite the mess. I kept catching glimpses of red afterwards and feeling a moment of panic since it looked like blood; when she licked the spots, though, I was reminded that she was not injured and has, apparently, discovered that strawberries are as good (and safe) as all the other ones she already eats. Our next farm mission: blueberries!
We also took an amazing trip to the beach in Port Townsend on Friday. Of course, I forgot my camera, but I can attest that Kate and the beach are a great combination. She laughed when her feet hit the sand, and just kept cracking up whenever she ran sand through her fingers. Her other beach favorites were all the kites, especially one with a big Barbie face....hmmm....wonder what that says about her? :)

From my perspective, Kate is having a PERFECT summer! She is one lucky little girl to have you both as parents. Love you 3, Grandma
Kate's grandfather was quite famous as a child for not only enjoying the sand at the beach but for eating it. Of course that was in the days before there were all the warnings about what kids should eat and when but I think, even then, sand was on the "should not consume" list. I survived anyway.
