Berries, First Bites, and Camping, and Creatures

We've been so busy lately. Busy having fun that is!
A couple weeks ago we went to a berry patch and picked fresh blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Sooo Delicious! We could tell the raspberries were David's favorite because he had a harder time putting them in bucket and not in his mouth :)


 Here's Lydia working hard at the berry patch.


And everyone else working hard at the berry patch.


I finally decided to give Lydia food. (She just goes crazy when we eat.) Rice cearial seems pretty boring to me, but she couldn't have been more excited! I think she'll be a good little eater. See how happy she is.


David wanted to show me that he liked his breakfast too.


This past weekend we went camping up at Ledges State Park. (If you live in the area and havn't been, you must!) It was so gorgeous and the weather was great!


David was so excited to go camping he was litterally jumping up and down with anticipation.
We went up Friday morning and spent the day hiking, and then stayed over night and hiked more Saturday.


Like I said before, it was beautiful!


David likes the huge bridge.


And Lydia even took a nap! (what a good dad)


I couldn't believe how well David did hiking around. Especially since alot of the trail looked like this!


We went to Ledges a couple years ago and took a picture here, so we had to do it again.


David 'helped' Jason put the tent up and was quite proud.


We saw some deer on our hike, but the best part of the whole trip for David was...


Hunting for creatures!!!!


He caught toads,


Caterpillars,


Millepedes,


Minnows (and more toads),


and Crawdads.


He was absolutely in heaven!!!
