Monday, August 4th
While Kenton and Aaron helped Josh work on the house, my sisters and I ventured out with all the kiddos. We decided to walk to pick blackberries on the Chase's property (Becca's in-laws). It was kinda crazy trying to get 6 kids and 3 Mamas situated, but we did it! It was a fun adventure once we got going. Some of the kids helped more than others with the picking. Ronan and Sadie did a lot of eating, and I had to control Griffin's portions because he absolutely loves berries and would eat them by the handful if I wasn't watching.
We got a surprise visit from Grammie who had Lydia and Dylan with her! (The Creagers came down to borrow Grandpa's truck to tow their boat.) Dylan had fun exploring, and especially liked the merry-go-round!

We walked through the orchard to look for plums, but they weren't ready yet. We found some apples that were ripe, and the kids discovered some secret passageways. (: (Notice the apartments that now back right up to the orchard behind the Chase property.)
Ready to head back home... Lydia joined Ronan in the trailer and Sadie helped me push them. We were all tired out!
We all made it back with a good amount of berries and our family has already used them up. We made blackberry smoothies the first night, then blackberry pancakes and cobbler the next day. Yummy! (:
