Blackberries

Ben suggested that instead of going to the waterpark today, we should go and pick blackberries. I was game…..but on our way out was kind of skeptical: it was hot and it would have been perfect for us to spend time in the water.
This was the best.day.ever! It was hot. And humid. But, it was totally worth it. It was our first time picking blackberries. And it was a blast! The bushes were thornless! AWESOME! Plus, there were a TON of red berries, which means we can go pick more in the next couple of weeks.

We then decided to pick some corn! 24 ears of corn for $6. You can’t beat that. And, you can’t get any fresher! :)

We all deserved a Slurpee after all that berry picking!

So, what do you do with 15 pounds of blackberries?

Make blackberry jam, of course!

And blackberry cobbler!

What a fun day! THIS is what it’s all about! There is nothing like spending with family!!

{And, thank you, Donna, for letting us come destroy your kitchen. And for helping us make jam and cobbler. And feeding us dinner. And bathing the kids. You are the best!}
