Blueberry Picking up Brown Mountain

Some of us, found some very interesting ways to pick berries!

Samuel looks a little bored here...

"Mom, don't drive off the cliff!"

The sun came out yesterday afternoon and we took advantage of the nice day and drove up Brown Mountain to go blueberry picking. The berries were ripe and beauitful! We ended up picking for about 2 and 1/2 hours and got a large pot full of berries. It started to rain later in the afternoon so we drove back home. When we got home, we stuck the berries in the freezer. Mom is going to use them to make jam and syrup.

Our trip to Mirror Lake

the cabin...

water skiing!!

the beauitful lake

My family recently got back from our annual summer trip to Mirror Lake. Everyone had a blast and made many good memories!! We stayed in a large cabin at the edge of the lake. While we were at Mirror Lake we water skiied, swam, fished, played games in the cabin, took skiff rides around the lake, hiked a ways up the inlet, and visited a water fall. Our stay lasted for about 3 days and we had some beauitful, warm weather. We are all anticipating our next trip!
