Blackberry picking

Today was our blackberry picking day. The kids were so excited. We had to drive up into the forest on a small dirt road. We passed it the first few times andended up calling our friend to ask where they were. (we had never seen a blackberry bush) Little did we know the berries are underneath so unless you were looking under you wouldn't see them. The kids had a great time having a picnic and just running around exploring. It is so nice to have school outside some days explorong our world! We finally found the bushes and there weren't many berries left. They kids had a great time looking for them (except our diva Avery). They weren't afraid of the prickers and thorns. All in all we only got about a cup full but the kids enjoyed that with some ice cream. It was such a great day!



This was the road we drove down.


Such pretty trees!
