We took a trip to the mountains today to pick some huckleberries. The kids really got into it right away. They decided they were on teams, Olivia and Daddy were one team and Emma and me were another team...Marcus just ate the huckleberries so he really wasn't on a team.
Emma really wanted to win, she's so competitive.
She did stop for one quick picture with Mommy. Then she promptly told me she was done with pictures and instructed me to start picking!
Emma tried to solicit some help from Marcus too. 
"Look at my fingers Mom! They're PURPLE!"
There was a big bear in the woods too. I was trying to get pictures of Marcus but he didn't want his picture taken. As you can see by this sequence of pictures though, he finally did warm up to it. What a little ham!
The girls wore their cowgirl boots...we found out while getting dressed that our tennis shoes no longer fit! The cowgirl boots worked really well though.
We actually skipped naps for this trip so by the time we were done (we left home at 10am and left the mountain at 4pm) the kids were done! Marcus actually asked for a nap at 3 so I put him in the back of the car and he fell asleep right away. We had a successful trip too...we got almost 2 gallons of huckleberries. They have been washed and are in the freezer waiting to be made into something yummy! Who were the winners of the huckleberry picking you might be asking? I think Emma gave Daddy a run...they both picked until the end and their buckets were full.
