Blackberries, Raspberries and Cousins

Yesterday, we made the long drive down to Mapleton. I little while ago I found a website called "Pick your own" http://www.pickyourown.org/UT.htm It gives you all the sites in your state that you can go pick your own fruit/vegetables. We used it to find an awesome strawberry place up in Layton so we could have a good excuse to go see Mindy. Then we used it again to go down south to get raspberries and blackberries. This time Mindy made the trek down from Layton and her hubby Mike joined us. We figured since we were down that way we would invite Mike's sister Becky (Becky and Mike are Davis cousins) to come with us and then invite ourselves to her house for dinner and games. It was wonderful. Needless to say my camera was in the car, so when I took the kids back to get a drink I grabbed it. This farm was awesome. The owners were super friendly and chatty. My kids had to use the potty the second we got there (no surprise there.) This nice lady let us go in her house and use her potty. We then headed out to "pick" and the kids ate more than what ended up in the baskets, but the owners said "That's what we like to see kids do." There were goats, geese, deer and other stuff the kids were fascinated with. It was super hot so when we were done, we were DONE. Becky got there late and only had a few raspberries, they didn't even bother weighing them, they just told her to take them home. I had over two pounds but they rounded it down to two, so I got lots of yummy raspberries and a few blackberries (they weren't quite ripe yet) for only $6, it was awesome.

This is the only picture from the patch. Ady and Matt LOVE cousin Katelyn.


Back at the house we made raspberry icecream, barbecue chicken, corn on the cob, watermelon and chips, such a great dinner. It was delish. Davis finally made it for dinner. Ady spent a lot of her time loving on chunky baby Carter. I think she could've spent more time like this, but Mom was super nervous. She watched him in is bouncy chair and every time he fussed she announced to the world that Carter wasn't happy.


Matt had to hold the baby too...let's just say I barely got the camera put down before I had to catch Carter from hitting the floor. Matt had his picture taken and he was DONE. Carter wasn't too happy going from Ady to Matt anyway, so he went back to Ady after this. I love the terrified look on Carter's face. LOL


Patiently waiting for dinner.

The girl cousins: Ady, Katelyn and Alyssa. These girls got along GREAT!!!

Matt watering the yard. He had a lot of fun too with the girls. They all were wonderful together. As you can see no pictures of Tanner. It's hard to be the oldest, not sure where he was at most of the time. And Bennett, well, my wonderful Mom offered to keep Bennett and it was fabulous. There was so much commotion and so many kids under the age of 5, it was nice not to have to worry about Benno too. After dinner the kids watched a movie and the adults played a game. It was pretty late, so Davis left with the kids part way into the game and I stayed until it was over. It was awesome we definitely have to do it again. We are all ready discussing BYU football and picking apples for applesauce in the fall. Can't wait!!!!!!
