A Little Taste of Summer

We went blackberry picking a few days ago with some friends. Fischer had his own bucket, but I don't think any ever made it into it. Fischer grew bored pretty fast with picking them off of the bushes. It didn't take long for him and his friend Camas to find Denise's bucket which sat so invitingly with already picked berries in it. They feasted for a little while before the evidence of dripping juice running down their chin gave them away. We all came home with scratches all over our arms and legs from battling those thorny bushes. Even little Amelia had scratches on her feet from being worn in the front pack while I was picking. It was all worth it though. Those berries were so delicious. Fischer and I made a blackberry peach pie and some jam. Absolutely scrumptious!




Amelia is cruising all over the house now. Fischer is having a lot of fun with her now that she is more interactive. She just gets the biggest kick out of her big brother.
