After our time at the beach house with the whole Guptill clan, we dispersed. Scott's sister Angie was still in Oregon with her kids and so were we so we hung out a little bit. And Scott's other two sister's were around some also. One day we got Wendy's frosties. They are only 50 cents a piece this summer. So 11 frosties doesn't set you back too much.
We ate our desserts at a park near Scott's parent's house.
Then we threw rocks in the river. One of my favorite things.
We went to Oregon City and Scott showed me this overlook of the falls.
Jaron and Matthew goofing around.
One day we went to visit the Portland Temple. Scott and I were married there almost 12 years ago.
We went berry picking one day. We started out hoping for raspberries but there weren't many left so we settled on boysenberries instead. I LOVE boysenberries so I was very happy. We picked a bunch and made two tasty berry cobblers with them. So good! Here's John picking some berries.
Emma wasn't happy about berry picking. We took all the beach buckets with us to hold berries and Emma thought that meant we were going to the beach. She was cruelly disappointed and quite angry about it. Poor Emma.

We played in the yard at Great Grandma Guptill's house. She has this awesome clown sprinkler with a hat that shoots into the air when the water is just right. The kids had a lot of fun with it.
I came upon these three cousins goofing around in the back of Grandpa's truck. I have three girl cousins about my age on my dad's side (and several about my age on my mom's side too) and I specifically remember goofing around with them in the back of my uncle's truck one summer. I got my uncle's work boots stuck on my feet and needed lots of adult help to get them off. He didn't even get mad at me. I hope they were making good summer memories too.
Another day we went to this water play area in a nearby town.
Everyone had so much fun playing there together.
It's nice to have such great cousin time and simple summer fun.
