Blackberries

I felt like I hadn't really been doing anything new and fun for Kaylee lately when Kristina was gone. We'd either go to the park or just go home and watch some Go Diego Go. Diego is Kaylee's boyfriend by the way. Then I noticed blackberry bushes all over the area and thought Kaylee would enjoy going berry picking. Kristina got us a bucket before she left town. I wanted to take her on Tuesday but it was raining. We went right after daycare yesterday and we picked enough to make a pie and a half. Kaylee enjoyed every minute of it. She only ate about one out of four berries she picked. She noticed some small plants coming out of the ground next to the bushes. I let her know that they were baby blackberry bushes. She looked at them and said, "Oooh, they're so cute!" I laughed out loud at that. She only got a little scratch on her ankle when she took off too quick after some picking.

Grandma Eathel took Jeff & Becky berry picking in old clothes so they could get purple all over. I made a pie but Steve didn't like it. Nana
