We've had a daily stroll to the blackberry bushes this week so we could gather enough berries for jam. I spent quite a bit of time picking the berries and didn't end up with much jam - but it was a fun family activity! Hopefully next year I'll find a spot with bigger berries.
I think most of Eliza's clothes are stained with blackberries - I can't pick them fast enough for her, but somehow they don't all end up in her mouth!
If you are a Great Big Sea fan singing
this song is a must while picking berries!

Hey Christina
The berries look yummy and the kids look pretty happy with that activity. I wanted to let you know that Great Big Sea is playing at the Lower Deck on September 20th (too bad it's a Sunday). But it is their first time back there in 20 years. That is where they really got their start- they use to play there all the time. Nice to see that they are not aboe returning to their roots! Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Fun outing + cute kids + sweet berries (and jam!) = wish we were there!
So fun! We love berries too!
We have tons of berries at our house! Next year come to our house. Nathan is even grooming a patch for us for next year.
