Spokane Summer 2026

Some of our favorite memories were the small everyday moments…

🍓 Early morning raspberry picking
🎡 Spokane Carnival where Camp got sick
🍦 Walks with Grandpa to Chester Store
⚾️ Backyard baseball & bug hunting
🎨 Polymer clay creations
❤️ Cousin time
🚤 Hanging with the Bushmans
🎬 And movie nights that went way too late

July 4th Prep

The girls were fully committed to their 4th of July prep. They made a patriotic cake and tackled the viral flag shirts. They spent hours cutting and sewing every strip of fabric. We loved seeing their creativity (and patience!) come to life. ❤️🤍💙

Huckleberry Picking

Huckleberry picking is serious business in the Northwest. 🫐 Huckleberries only grow naturally in high-altitude areas & locals are famously protective of their secret picking spots. So when I found someone willing to share one with us, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. We loaded up, headed into the mountains, and hoped the drive would be worth it.

Turns out…we struck berry gold. The whole area was filled with huckleberry bushes & we picked until our fingers were stained pink. Such a fun adventure - so glad we can officially check this one off our bucket list!
