We went on a bonus field trip this week to pick blackberries at The Orchard in Tennessee. It is a great little pick your own farm with blackberries, strawberries and peaches (all when is season of course). I have been three times and each time have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Although it was hot, I think everyone had a good time. Ben even took time off to come pick some berries with us. I am pretty sure Mikayla ate almost a whole quart in the hour we picked. If you get a chance you should check them out. We came home and made some yummy blackberry jam to have for the next year. Here are some shots of the fun we had.
Picking berries. She learned really quick to only pick the black ones and not the red ones!
Sneaking a bite or two.
A mouthful of berries!
The berry loot!
All tuckered out after a hard day in the field!
Berry juice all over!
Mad that we took her berries away!
We leave in the morning for Africa. I will try to post along the way, but not sure about Internet access.
