Blueberry Picking

Even though the girls never really stopped fighting I decided to be a fun mama and take the them to the Mercer Slough to go and pick berries. Allie picked out her new hiking shoes (pink sequined ballet shoes with a poofy flower on the toe box) to wear along with a ruffly dress.  Maddie was a little more practical...finally wearing shorts for the first time this summer.  Maddie is at the perfect age to berry pick. She could have stayed there all day.  Allie quickly announced to me, "Mom, you can pick a lot of berries and I will eat them."

And that was our day.  An hour of bliss for Maddie, an hour of way too much physical exertion for Allie, and an hour of getting eaten alive by mosquitoes by me.
