Zucchini

We had our neighbors water our garden while we were in Monterey and I told them they could pick what they wanted, but they didn't. Below are some pictures of what we found when we got home.

Ethan was quite enamored with the zucchini. When I first spotted it in the garden I told him, "Wow Ethan I found a huge zucchini." He spread his arms really far apart and said, "Is it this big?" He thought he was exaggerating, but he wasn't too far off! I haven't decided exactly what to do with this zucchini. I have had several suggestions so we'll see how we cook it. We've been having a lot of zucchini dishes lately and the summer has only started!

On Sunday we finally headed over to a county park that is near our house. They have some walking trails and swimming access to the river. We had a great time enjoying God's creation and time as a family. When we went hiking before we had kids we would often talk about taking our kids on hikes and teaching them to love the outdoors. I think we're off to a great start. Ethan loved running ahead of us on the trails and Morgan was as content as could be in the backpack.
