In the summer, we went to the Edmonds farmer's market almost every Saturday. We would pick up lunch and have a little picnic. But before the summer was out, our little missy couldn't sit still for such a thing! This is the only picture we got of her during these outings! Even though her eyes are closed it is still a precious picture to me.



This picture below, also from the farmer's market, is of Rick Steve's of Europe Through The Backdoor fame. He lives in Edmonds and is headquartered here too. We see him all the time and he lives down our street. It is rumored he drives really fast which doesn't make all the little old ladies and gentlemen in Edmonds very happy. And it is surprising to me b/c he just didn't strike me as the type, based on watching his PBS shows. He is the tall guy in the gray long sleeve top in the middle. Do you recognize him from his back? ;-)
This may have been from the same hot August day . . . little Olivia playing with a bucket of water on our deck. She's soaked and she loved dumping the water out the best.
Oliva loves Elmo and loves her Elmo backpack.
