blue berries!

we went to a local blue berry farm? or patch? not sure what you would call it... lets just say a place to pick lovely blueberries! we went as a family last Friday evening and we all thoroughly enjoyed our selves! i was pretty disappointed that our own blueberry bushes failed to produce much in the way of berries this year. but, it was kind of a good thing... because other wise i am not sure if i would have bothered to find this fun, little, very kid friendly, blue berry picking... place! so yea for me! and my infertile bushes!

the kids we used as slave labor to help us pick....
but i think they liked it!
they met some strange new friends...

"who poops too!" (William pointed out!)
it was so much fun that we took grandma Stevenson the fallowing Tuesday!
~and found another Caterpillar friend~ ...and a few other 8 legged friends who I was not as excited about!but was truly glad grandma was there to take care of those ones.
(there were several spiders grandma picked up right off of Williams jacket! with her fingers! and if that's not bad enough she let them crawl all over her while the kids watched in delight!)
any ways.... we had such fun we plan to go again next week when Oma comes to visit!
....
and here are the new pics as promised!
~ oma and evans picking away!

look at all those big fat blue berries!

your kids are so cute! We are looking forward to christmas as well and can't wait to see all of you guys. I can't beleive that with you hating bugs (mainly spiders) that your kids are so open to the idea of being outdsoors...since you never were one for being in tune with nature as a child!
