We're Going on a Berry Hunt


One of our favourite things to do is explore the pathways just out our front door.
We're going on a berry hunt.
We're going to pick some big ones.
What a beautiful day!

Uh-uh! Grass!
Long wavy grass.
We'll go through it!

Swishy swashy!
The blackberries are just everywhere, along with stinging nettle.

Uh-uh! Stinging nettle!
Prickly, stickly.

We'll go around it!

Carefully now!

Uh-no! Mud!
Thick oozy mud.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it.

Oh no!
After school on friday, mud, cow poo, adventure in public pathways.
We've got to go through it!        

Squelch squerch!
Wish I had my gumboots!

Uh-uh! A horse!
One of the horses actually ate berries from Hollys container! Bit slow with the camera :)
A big poking his nose into my container horse.

Oh no!
Better walk past him!

Stumble trip!
Stumble trip!

Yeah, we have picked some
Success, tasty and enough to make desert to share with James Megan, Peter and Melanie!
beautiful tasty blackberries!
Lets eat them!

Quick! Back through the mud, cow poo, past the stinging nettle, through the grass.


Back home to cook blackberry pikelets and blackberry crumble.



Mmmm, you should have seen the number of small white worms we found!!

YUM!

Blackberry pikelets!




Yummy,yum, yum! We had our neighbours over for desert and a drink.
