Fun Day With the Kids

On Monday we went Raspberry picking with the Jemmett family. We were so excited all day.
The kids kept asking me how many hours we had until we could leave. To pass the time, we decided to take some pictures. This was our self portrait.Ü
MacKelle was the photographer here.

Trace took this one. I'm not sure why MacKelle is making that face (Probably something Trace did Ü).

They are such cute kids. I love that we're able to do a few more things not that they are getting a little older.
Here is Bryan and Mason. Mase seems to like Bryan quite a bit. He has been a mommy's boy lately, but didn't seem to mind at all hanging with Bryan while we finished picking our berries. We love the Jemmetts! It was nice of them to invite us and so fun to visit with Bryan, Wendy, and Riley while we picked.
Here is MacKelle counting our loot. You can't see in the picture but she and Trace picked their berries into one of those square green baskets. She held her basket against her. By the time she was done she had raspberry juice ALL over her shirt!

You can't see it well in this picture, but we all have berry juice on our hands, and Trace has a raspberry on his tongue.
There were raspberries EVERYWHERE! Trace was picking and said "Mom, this is a good place to come when you are hungry." Ü We had so much fun. Trace and MacKelle started singing to each other as they were picking. It was kind of like a raspberry picking musical. They were having a conversation, but singing instead of talking. When we were done Trace and MacKelle played in the mud while I loaded our stuff up. It was a GREAT day!

Here is Mase and I picking. Mason seemed to have fun too. He had a lot to say and said it LOUD. He sat happily in the backpack almost the whole time. I have such GREAT kids! Poor Justin was at work when we were having all our fun, but maybe he can come next time.
