Weekend Visitors

My sister and her family came to visit us this weekend.  They were looking for a place to relax since they are in the middle of a remodel project on their house right now.  I was so excited when she called and asked if she could come hang out with us!  We decided to show them Green Bluff.  Raspberries were in season so we headed to the raspberry patches...but not before taking a quick Cousin Picture.

The raspberries were ripe and ready!

Aiden thought this was pretty cool.

All the cousins really enjoyed themselves.

We got quite the haul.  I actually made 8 jars of jam out of our pickings this morning!

Next we picked some nectarines.  They weren't quite as ripe but still lots of fun to pick.

We headed to a different orchard for some more picking.  This is the same place we get the pumpkin spice doughnuts in the fall...they have them in the summer too!  So while we rode the "Country Limo" to our next picking destination, we enjoyed some yummy doughnuts!

Our next picking adventure was Cherries!

We stuck to the "reds".  Olivia was very brave climbing the ladder.

We found Marcus hiding in the shade.  He was making sure these cherries were safe to eat.  Marc said this looks just like Poppi!  Guess the "cherry" doesn't fall far from the tree...hehehe.

Mother and daughter...my sister, Sabrina with my niece and Goddaughter, Taylor...she'll be a senior this year!

Next we hit the lake.  We found a great beach.

The kids cooled off in the water.

Swim Aiden!

Olivia took a quick picture of Marc and me :-)
