Our first time picking blueberries at The Berry Patch- so good

Now they're not too big for water balloons, in our own back yard

Silly Tristan, hair got long and he woke up like this one day

more baseball

When there is a long rain delay, gotta find things for the kids to do-- here they ended up at Bass Pro Shop
