Picking Berries

I have to post again about picking berries. It's an important part of our summer. We went to Parlee Farms last week, and it was great. Here they are on the way to pick. Can you tell it's 8 am and they're barely awake?

It turns out blueberries, unlike people, LOVE lots of rain in early summer while the berries are growing. Look at this plant.

Here are the girls with our take.

And I have to post a picture of this goat. Just because.

Speaking of the goats, Clara fed all the animals. She thought it was hilarious. Lee was content to either throw the food through the fence, or drop it down the tubes so they could pick it off the ground. She's still pretty nervous around animals. Different kids, different personalities.

That reminds me - recently I was asking Lee if she wanted to ride a horse because some friends of hers were going to be doing some riding. "NO!" she said rather emphatically. Clara, however, piped up from the back of the car "I want to ride a horse, Mommy!"
