Play time

These pictures are a mix from my phone and the camera. Nate knew exactly where the camera cord was. Yay!

Layla attempting to wear grandpa's boots.

Swimming! My parents had turned their hot tub off and were planning to empty it so they could clean it. My mom let the girls and I use it as a pool. Sanaa LOVED it. I spent over an hour in the hot tub with Sanaa while Layla napped.

But Layla did get some time to swim with us as well.

Little monkey. Layla's new favorite activity is climbing on the side table so that she can climb onto the chair. She does it a few times every day.

Riding grandpa's motorcycle.

Rain! We've been in Oregon for almost two weeks and this afternoon it rained for the first time. The girls had a blast playing and running around in the rain. They have no idea that they'll get to see a lot more rain in the upcoming months.

Sanaa was most excited about the mud that the rain created. In fact when we came outside she yelled, "Yay! Mud!" Then she got to work "painting" things and had to include our van.

Layla's first experience with corn on the cob. Both girls really enjoyed the corn from my mom's garden. This morning Sanaa asked for more. Hopefully more of the corn will be ready by the weekend.

My mom has had an over abundance of tomatoes this year. Sanaa was helping us pick some. Layla helped too, but she preferred to pick the green ones so I sent her with my dad to pick some blackberries (which she LOVES to eat).

This bin of tomatoes was used to make salsa. We have since refilled the bin with new tomatoes and have 2 grocery bags full of tomatoes in a fridge in my parents garage (my dad calls it the shop since it's where my dad and brother fix things). And there are still A LOT of tomatoes on the vine that are not quite ripe yet. Have you ever seen yellow tomatoes? I hadn't, but my mom had a yellow tomato plant.

Last weekend we made 25 pints of salsa. This weekend my mom plans to make spaghetti sauce. I think we'll also end up just canning some whole tomatoes as well.
