Rain, rain, rain.

We've had almost nonstop rain the last 2 weeks, so when we have a chance, we try to get out and let Leia run off some energy. On Friday, the weather was very nice in the afternoon, so Leia and I went out and spent plenty of time while waiting for Fredrik to get home from work. So here are some pictures from Friday:





Leia and I ate plenty of cherries from our cherry tree.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with the cherries. Fredrik won't eat them or eat anything made with them. So I don't know what to do.

Leia's slide that we bought July 4th weekend. After that day, it has been raining so much that she has barely had a chance to use it..... We also bought a sandbox that we haven't been able to fill with sand yet because of all the rain.







The neighbor across the street, Karl, has a hammock that he lets all the neighbor children use. :) He only puts it up for the children (he doesn't use it). He is also the brother of our next door neighbor. He is really good with Leia and he likes her a lot. :) He doesn't mind if she comes and plays in his yard, she likes to run down the little slopes and go up and down the little stairs next to his house. He gets on all 4s and pretends to be an animal and she loves it. :) We've been lucky to have older neighbors that are so great with kids!



"smultron" - wild strawberries. We have them in our garden, but since they were planted they don't taste very much at all but Leia really likes them.

And our normal-sized strawberries that taste absolutely delicious! They turn out so great every year.
