The Berry Patch

Yesterday we headed out to this cute and fun Berry farm. I always miss huckleberry picking in the mountains and picking the raspberries in my parents garden, so this was the perfect place for me. It was actually a pretty big farm with a ton of apple trees, blueberry and current bushes, cherry trees, raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry plants, pumpkins patches, and a green house full of tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumber.

We all loved the blackberries the best. The girls had fun finding the ones that were dark and putting them into their buckets. Plus they tasted amazing and they are such pretty berries.

Even Mason picked a few.

But he just mostly ate them.

Then he decided to get just get down and eat them right off the bush!

Silly boy with a messy face and messy hands that left purple stains all over my pants. It was worth it though.

We picked blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.

Homemade blueberry muffins for breakfast.

And yummy fruit pizza for dessert after dinner.

Some other exciting things this week:

We found this toad right outside our door the other night. Not as cute as the little frogs the girls like to catch, but they still had fun with him.

I don't know why I keep taking pictures of these frogs and toads. I have to get close to them to take the picture and the entire time I am scared to death that they are going to jump on me. My girls are so different from me!



Katelyn and Kylie had swimming lessons everyday this past week and they had so much fun and did awesome!! With all the swimming they did this summer they had learned to swim underwater before they even started swimming lessons. Their teacher told me she wanted to move them up two levels but found out we can't so she said to just move them up to the next level.

Kylie gave a talk in primary today and was so sweet. She wasn't scared at all and spoke so loud and clear. I was proud of her and it brought a few tears to my eyes! I love my kids.
