Raspberries

Last night we went over to Kyle's house for dinner. Kyle and Thomas are in town for just about one more week before they head back to the remote village of Teller for another season of teaching.

Van biked, he was the first to arrive.
Andy walked, carrying a bowl of line and cilantro rice to go with the salmon Kyle and Thomas were preparing.
I walked, carrying a baking sheet of fresh chocolate chip cookies.
Esther biked and cried, because she couldn't eat the cookies I was carrying.

I distracted her from the cookies by picking raspberries off the bushes on the sides of the road and feeding them to her.

Pretty soon the distraction was too effective and she had to stop and eat some herself.
