This is what frosting does to me!!!
Ella is a little sneak. She is trying to snatch a
piece of Daddy's carrot cake while he is away.
This is the end result. Up her nose and
everything!! She was proud of her
accomplishment though!
On Saturday morning or family went on a little bike ride to Rookes Park. There are nice paved trails that run next to Mill Creek so it makes for a scenic ride. Along the trails are Blackberry bushes. They are just now starting to be ripe for the pickin! The kids, including John, love to pick them and eat them. They had so much fun finding the biggest and the juiciest! On the bike ride back we ran into 2 bull snakes (see below). We are pretty sure they were over 2 1/2 feet long and very healthy!! The kids thought this was so cool! We had a very fun and eventful morning!

Oh my! Blackberries and Bull snakes! My kids would have been jumping out of there skin so excited!!What a beautiful day you guys had! It is soooooo green. It reminds of of when my family lived in Lacey, WA and my mom would take us to pick the wild blackberries and then she would come home and make jam. We were always covered in all the juice. Yum!!
Geez, I was wanting to do this bike ride, but after seeing the snakes, may have to rethink that idea. The blackberries are a fun addition though. That outfit of Ellas is so cute.
