My Life Recently

We're finally getting apples on our apple trees!

Emma, Dad, Grandad, and I got to sit in the VIP section at the Hops game.  It was a perfect night.

Emma and I went to Papa Haydn's for lunch one day.  We had blueberry lemonade in sugar-rimmed glasses, pickled apple and white strawberries, oxtail croquettes, four cheese pizza, and croque monieurs.  Then we had these AMAZING desserts! Mine was called Marjolaine and was a cake with layers of chocolate mousse and hazelnut-praline cream, toasted hazelnut meringue, whipped creme fraiche, and French vanilla chocolate.  Emma got something called Passion and it was a chocolate buttermilk cake with passion fruit mousse, raspberry mousse, and a white chocolate passion fruit curd.  THEY WERE DIVINE!

Tried rambutan for the first time.  Easily the weirdest fruit I've ever seen.

For the 4th of July I got together with these lovely people and had a swingin'  time doing all sorts of illegal fireworks.

Tried dragon fruit for the first time.  It tastes like a cross between a kiwi and jicama.  I  ended up mixing it into some strawberry jello and it tasted pretty dang good.

Currently, me, my mom, and sister are in Idaho visiting my favorite people in the world.  Yesterday we ventured down to the warm slough and floated along the river.  I've been going to school in Idaho for 3 years and had no idea this place even existed.  It was beyond beautiful.  Needless to say, I'm loving life right now.
