Today we attended our first event with our local home school group. We were invited out to a family's farm to pick blackberries and learn how to make a pie, in addition to checking out their chickens, sheep, and cows! Beth had a great time once she learned she could eat the berries straight of the bushes, she was covered in blackberry stains! She loved every second of our trip, she even helped make a pie which we got to bring home and share with Ryan. Turns out she prefers plain blackberries instead of blackberry pie though!
I'm pretty sure their farm was my dream house (I heard every other mom there say that too). Lots of land, animals, a beautiful house with a wrap-around porch and an awesome veggie garden... I'd move there in a heartbeat. Well, it'd be great when the kids are older. Right now in my life it'd be a lot of work for a stay at home mom whose kids can't take care of themselves yet! Maybe in a few years...
stains, everywhere! good thing i knew that would happen and let her wear an old shirt!

Beth looks so happy! Good thinking on the old shirt so she could get it stained without worrying about it :o)
Do you remember your "party favor chick" from Elizabeth? That old feeling just never went away!
Looks like y'all had a grand time!
Katie & I got a good laugh over the chicken picture and the memories of her birthday party were all you kids got a chick for a party favor. The moral of the story: don't leave dads in charge of 10 year old birthday parties.
