Berry Pickin'

I found a Blackberry farm about 15 minutes from our house and took the kids over there one morning. We had so much fun. It had rained the previous couple days so it was a bit swampy but the kids rather enjoyed stomping in the puddles. I think it might be something we turn into a tradition (the berry picking...not the stomping in puddles... )

We brought along Emma's best friend, her, Emma and Miguel did really well picking but Gabe kept dumping out everything he picked. He thought they were bombs and he kept trying to blow up the bushes...gotta love the boys :D

We ended up picking over 9 lbs of berries. We made a triple berry pie and blackberry cobbler. I'm saving the rest to make blackberry jam...which I'm very excited about...yum!!
