We have spent the summer trying to hit a new park at least a couple a times a week. Jackie loves when we find a Splash Pad but really her favorite is anything with a climbing wall.
We were able to Millennium Park on cooler day this week and we had the whole place to ourselves, splash pad and beach!
Grace loved the beach at Millennium, We dug a mote and made an island, we built more castles then I could count, but every time I went to get my camera Grace had managed to smash the castle before I returned.
Grace likes climbing walls too... but that's just because they are great to play peek-a-boo around.
In general, it has been a wonderful summer playing outside. There are still a few parks on my list of must hit before the end of summer but we have covered a lot of ground.
Today we headed out to Bowerman's Farm Market to pick Blueberries with Kate, Kelly Grandma and Papa. If you have never been this is the place for the best overall blueberry picking experience. Of course it starts with a ride on their pink cow. 
This year the highlight for Jacqueline was the bounce house (this is new). Jackie was more excited about bouncing then she was picking blueberries. 
Eventually we did make it out the fields to pick. The berries were huge and there were so many that were so ripe they were literally falling off the branches in some places. The biggest sweetest blueberries I have scene in a while. 
Grace loved it. She ate so many she actually got sick and then still wanted more. I always feel a little bad at u pick because you only pay for what is in your bucket and I know my girls went home with a ton in their bellies. We may be back again before the season is done.
