Lex’s final soccer class was on Saturday morning.  He’s really enjoyed playing and we’ll probably pick it back up again in the fall, after we take a summer break.

On Saturday afternoon we walked over to Bethany village and had a little picnic in the grass by the fountain.  The sun was out and it felt great to splash around in the water.

On Sunday we skipped church and spent the morning outside doing yard work.  Lex entertained himself by coasting down the driveway on his tricycle.  (Tim and I have successfully held our ground that he has to wear a helmet in order to ride his tricycle or balance bike.)

After nap time we drove downtown and played in the water at Jamison Square.  It was extremely busy…we Oregonians flock to the water parks during any kind of warm weather.

Meanwhile our house is in the process of being painted.  We love the new “Georgian Brick” color (SO much better than the nondescript green-gray that it was before).  And the trim should be finished in a day or two.

I also have to include a picture of our little garden in the blog.  A few nights ago we made a salad from our very first harvest of lettuce and spinach.  It was great!  (and our carrots are just now sprouting)
