Nana's Birthday




Today was Nana's birthday. She decided that she wanted to go blackberry picking with all of the kiddos for her birthday. We had so much fun! My grandparents ended up meeting us out at the orchard and I am so glad that they did. They seemed to enjoy being out there with all the kids. Isabella said that the grass was making her mad because it kept scratching her legs so my grandma was kind enough to sit with her and they had their little snack that Isabella brought with her! We also had our own personal "tour guide."Her name was Molly and she was the ripe ole' age of 7! This girl was hilarious. She sang at the top of her lungs through the blackberry orchard. I think that her aunt was the one running the place on this particular day. It appeared that Molly hadn't seen children her own age in quite sometime. She stuck to us like glue. Once we were finished picking our blackberries, we went to see the horse and donkey that they had. Molly told us there names were Michael and Trimmin'. Michael was the huge horse and Trimmin' was the donkey. That donkey cracked me up! I could have stood there all day watching my girls with that donkey! They are city girls to the core (they get that from their mom!) but they loved this donkey. Isabella wanted to kiss it sooo bad but just couldn't quite get the nerve to do it! At one time Trimmin' smelled something on Alexis' shirt and really liked it. Oh my I was cracking up at that. It wouldn't let go of her shirt...she was getting a little scared and I couldn't quit laughing so that I could do something about it.
