A highlight in June was a trip out to Grandma and Grandpa's house to pick blackberries. The kids love blackberries and they also love riding 4-wheelers.
The older boys were the first ones ready to head out:
Waiting for Grandma.
"If I could just get this thing started......."
Mommy with two happy little boys.
The kids showed off the blackberries as they found them.
John wasn't so sure about the picking part:
After he picked one, he decided he really didn't like the idea of tasting it.
The camera wasn't fast enough to catch a blackberry in Catherine's hand, because she ate them as fast as she could.
Therese decided that flowers were more fun to pick than blackberries. "Smile, Therese!"
After we picked and ate blackberries, we went home the long way
with just a few stops to take pictures of wildflowers.
This grasshopper is small but a few more flowers and he will be a regular, disgusting, large grasshopper.
