Summer Fun - Music, Farm to Table Dinner, Berry Picking

Music at Fernhill Park

Summertime is a time to hang out with friends, enjoy good food and a nice glass of wine.  We certainly have been on track on all points this summer!  The weekend of July 10 Steve headed out of town for our friend Mike Hyland's bachelor party.  Maddy and I spent Friday with Eric, Melissa, Althea, Daynia, Brett, Wyatt, Kieran and Riley at Fernhill park listening to some good music, running up and down the hill (or rolling - for the kids) and enjoying dessert thanks to Melissa. 

Saturday our friend (and Maddy's former teacher) Ashley came to our place to watch Maddy, and I headed out to Stoller Winery with our friends for a fantastic farm to table dinner.  Both Steve and Eric were at Mike's bachelor party weekend, so Emily and I were dates for the night.  : )  The food and wine were both magnificent and we all had a wonderful evening.  We had a van and driver for the night (the winery was over an hour from Portland) and when we returned to Portland, we all called it an early night.

One July weekend we headed to Sauvie Island Farms for berry picking.  The summer has been hot so the berry season was drawing to a close quicker than normal, so we were happy to be able to find LOTS of blueberries, quite a few marrionberries, some raspberries and a few blackberries.  This was our first time picking on Sauvie Island, and even though the day was a rainy one, we had a great time and will definitely return next season.
