Pickin' Fun

Our tradition of pickin' berries annually began for Mark and I as newlyweds when our neighbors mentioned a local berry farm ( I believe Kathy and Lee were going with the Johnson's to pick berries one Saturday when the subject came up. Maybe Sean was a baby or not even born yet.)

From then on we have gone every year to harvest blueberries and blackberries. Savannah was 2 months old the first time she went. And now Archer has participated at 5 months of age.

Savannah was proud of this extra juicy one.

She looks forward to this every year and is usually content to pick a few and eat a few with little conversation. But this year she said, "Momma, let's pretend just for today that this is our berry farm and I am your daughter who helps you pick berries every day."

And so we did.

Archer is showing his interest in our make believe.

He would have rather us pretend to be in bed napping at home.

Savannah hypothesized that the extra firm berries were not nearly as juicy as the softer ones.

Our research shows that she is correct.
