Summer Fun

Monday we went to the zoo.  It was $2 day and since we haven't been in a couple years, I decided it would be a nice morning out.  It was very hot and crowded but it was nice to get out for a bit.  We saw our favorites.

The capybara is always a favorite due to the wonderful children's book Capyboppy 

 We picked up sandwich fixings on the way home and after lunch the kids went to the pool.

Today we went berry picking up in Georgia.  It was a nice drive and we found the place easily.  We will definitely be going back next year.  It was super hot outside, but I have lots of helpers.  We picked blueberries and blackberries.

The girls made mini blackberry pies and blueberry buckle cake when we got home.  They all went swimming again to cool off.  It was so nice to have all of them together to have some family fun.
