Fruit and Berry Farm

Today was a busy day filled with some fun activities! We started out with a trip to the Fruit and Berry Farm where we picked blueberries, blackberries, grapes we didn't think that they tasted like grapes) and picked apples off the ground to throw to the horses and goats! After that we went and enjoyed the sprinkler park for a couple of hours! The kids (except Shelby who didn't like the water though we aren't sure why) had a ball. I will save that for another post b/c this post is going to be long enough with just the Berry Farm adventure. We finished our day with baths and a supper of "breakfast" which the kids devoured :)

Madison was the one that surprised me the most as she normally sticks to my side and today I was forever having to "yell" at her to come back as she would be 20-30 ft ahead of us and you could barely see her in all the vines.

I love it! The Fruit and Berry Farm is great, isn't it?! I'm so glad you got to enjoy some time out there with all the kids...and that you had some help, too! ;)

Sure does look like you are making some amazing memories for all of you to treasure this week. Very impressive with FIVE kids, that you are able to do some many wonderful things and make the very most of the time you've been given. Enjoy it!!!

LOVE the Fruit and Berry Farm- we went out there each year for pumpkins, but never in the summer for berries. Looks like you are having a fun week!!
