Blueberries

We braved the heat and went to a blueberry farm this summer. There were rows and rows of all different types of blueberry bushes. I didn't know there were that many different types of blueberries. The girls had a lot of fun and the best part was you could eat the blueberries right of the bush since they don't use any pesticides or anything. So you could taste one from a bush to see if you liked it or if you wanted to change locations. After a little more than an hour at the farm, we decided we had enough. We ended up with around 8 lbs. of blueberries and that's after Kyia spilled the bucket...twice. I decided to freeze them all and we have slowly been using them. It was a fun experience and something we'll do again next year!

Mountains


During the summer, we were able to head back to Wyoming and Colorado for a couple of weeks. We are sure missing it there right now as Houston is still pretty warm. We miss the leaves changing, cooler weather, the mountains and just being able to go outside. As I was looking through pictures today I found these from this summer. We took the girls on a horseback ride which they both LOVED! Kyia seemed like a pro and knew just what to do. It was Brooklyn's first time and she thought it was the greatest thing in the world. She laughed the entire time. We went up to the top of the mountain and looked over Cokeville. It was so pretty up there and I was wishing I brought my camera. We try to take the girls every time we go back and it is something they really look forward to. Hopefully we'll be able to go back soon.
