Russa and Christian invited us over for our first ever lobster boil. The lobsters were quite yummy and it was a fun evening with good friends.
For Richard's birthday, we did a one night camping trip to Alsea Falls. The next morning we hiked around the falls a little and enjoyed the area. When we got back home we celebrated with gifts and pastries.
The garden continued to grow great treats- the boys enjoyed the colored carrots, and we enjoyed the zucchini relish that we canned. This was our first adventure in canning, and netted several great jars of relish for our summer hot dogs and sausages. And thus far, no botulism.
The boys enjoyed August at home, keeping up with the swimming lessons and the activities around town. Ben earned a pirates costume for going to bed at night without too much complaining- both boys were very into pirates all summer due to a Pirates of the Caribbean Wii game we got before our vacation. Owen and Richard worked at it all summer and finally were able to complete all the levels. We watched the first and fourth movies this summer, and Ben adopted a pirate accent. He is a lot more excited about sword play and fighting than Owen has ever been- will have to keep an eye on this little matey.
