Picking Berries

OH MY WORD!!!! Talk about fun. We went to a blueberry farm today to pick blueberries and we had so much fun. Grandma and Grandpa Lunn - you are lucky I HATE Michigan winters because the summer here is absolutely fabulous. Maybe next time you can come with us :) The weather has been oh low 80's - Jealous? yeah, I know amazing. Anyway, we took the kids to the berry farm and they had so much fun picking berries (and eating them along the way too). Here they are getting ready to head out.

The boys....

Kristi and Adriana

The other boys...we took a tractor ride out to the better berries....the kids liked the ride, I think Austin liked it the best.

Keira wasn't too sure of the loud tractor at first, but she was fine once we started going.

The girls.

Here is possibly the cutest picture. Keira and Austin didn't do much picking....but they sure did their share of eating....Keira had a bucket and occasionally we would throw some berries in and she would gobble them up. She shared with Austin too. Sarah finally had to take them to the tractor ride to wait for us to finish.

here are some random picking berry shots

Not sure who had more fun, these guys or the little ones.

All in all, it was great fun and I anticipate another trip there before we leave. We will bring some home with us so you Texans can experience the delicious blueberries from Michigan!

Probably the best part of this particular day was that my little sister, Randee and her husband Johnny brought little Parker into the world last night at 11:33 pm. The special part of this is that he was born on our Grandpa Tuinstra's (his Great Grandpa) birthday. Hence his middle name Erwin...Welcome to the world Parker Erwin Kirkpatrick...pictures to come shortly.
