boppies

Once again, we headed outside the loop and up to the King's Orchard for some fruit picking. This time of year in Texas promises blackberries and blueberries, fruits that I associate with August most places we've lived. It seems as if we were about a week too early for the sweet blackberries, but we managed to find some that were tasty. Lilly, as anticipated was not so fired up about picking these due to the thorns, but nevertheless persistent for us to pick one for her, one for the box. Our trip also coincided with the last of the strawberries, so we picked them too. The real hit for Lilly was picking the blueberries, as they were 1) easy to pick at every height and 2) plentiful. Try as we did, it was hard to convince the little one to avoid the green ones in favor of the blue ones. Every "boppie" was tasty to her!
