Last week we had the best weather I think we've had all summer, which means we did a lot of fun stuff; picking huckleberries, picking blackberries, lot's of park days, coastal cleanup at Glass Beach, craft fair, water fights, logging show, hanging out with friends, and of course the Labor Day Parade. 

Other BIG NEWS, our chickens laid their first egg last week. 

So far they've laid 4 eggs.

Here's our first little egg

It's so tiny, I put the lens cap next to it so you could see how small it is

Cooking it for Elio for breakfast

Not much there, but Kyle and I had a little taste and Elio ate it all up.

The MOMS Club won 1st place (in our category) for the Labor Day Parade. That means we win a big fat check for $300.00! That's going to help the MOMS Club get through the year.

Here's our float:

The theme was Into the Redwood with Paul and Babe. We thought it would be fun to play off it a little and do a camping theme. The boys had to dress up as if they were going camping or something you might see while camping.

So what might you see or hear while camping?

 An Owl of course!

 

 What might you see or eat while camping?

 

A Hamburger! Ok, I know it's kind of a stretch, but I saw the costume and couldn't resist. Plus I could hear people saying how cute he was as we walked by in the parade, so I'm pretty sure it was a hit.
