I didn't know how Olivia would do, but I went anyway. She hung out in her stroller quite happily for most of the time. I have pictures....LOTS. So, if you're not a grandparent, or just not interested, go ahead and scroll to the next post. 8-)

Brother picking the blackberries. He did very well!!
Benjamin and Isaac heading to the farthest part of the strawberry patch. It must have been a great idea because they got lots of nice berries.

Olivia was not being left out of this. She saw brother try a berry and she was going to have one too! So, she went looking....
Found one she liked.... (oh, if anyone knows how to take this picture and make JUST the berry have color, would you help me do that?)
Bragged about it....
Sat with Benjamin and started nibbling it....
Then shoved it in her mouth to protect it from the other kids.
We came home with these berries and some local honey. I'm going to test the "local honey will help with Kevin's allergies" myth.
The children and I really enjoyed the outing. Olivia was thrilled when I would pull a blackberry off of the bush and pop it into her mouth. It was funny. I think that, in the end, she ended up eating 3 strawberries right out of the patch! It was berry fun!
I know, I know. I couldn't help myself!!

Looks like so much fun. We'll have to try to go next week. We were at the zoo that day... remember!? ;)
Hmmm...that sounds vaguely familiar. However, my phone didn't ring, so I am not quite sure. ;-)
I hear you're going with us Monday morning. Yes, I said MORNING! **Evil laugh**
Wait, where? :)
To the lake, of course!
I didn't know Laura decided on Monday. Won't her boys be at their Bible School that morning? I'm taking the older ones to it at 9 and I have an appt with the younger ones a bit later in the morning. We could probably make it there around 1ish if you think you'll still be there. Don't want to miss out on the fun! :)
If you go berry picking again, call me! I'd love to go! We go to Martin's Berry Patch, but I'm pretty sure they don't have strawberries. Where is McPeak Orchards?
Oh....oops. Yeah, Benjamin is going too!
