YUMMY

Braxton would pick some berries then take a brake and eat all the ones he picked. He must have eaten a pound by himself.

More......

And More!!

This picture is of some of the blueberry bushes. They will assign you a certain amount of bushes to pick depending on how many people you have. Anthony started to pick in some other ladies bush and she yelled at him and said "this is my bush!" People are very protective of their bushes I guess.

More berries

Look at all those yummy blueberries! We all picked a total of 15 pounds. We probabley ate half of that over the weekend.

Braxton's new girlfriend

This in Neelah Braxton's new girlfriend. She was feeding him blueberries and I was able to get a picture of it. So cute!

Of course Braxton is eating more blueberries. (Ok so while I was blogging Braxton was being very quiet so I went to check on him and I busted him eating a banana, then discovered 3 more banana peels sitting on the counter. He ate 4 bananas!!!! 4 all by himself, he is gonna be backed up for a while.) Moving on.....

Anyways, time for some family pictures.

Eric, Heather, Neelah, Savvy, and Finn Watson. Thanks for having us over for the weekend, we had so much fun!

Dumb and Dumber

Ok so while we were there we spotted a huge hornets nest. So they guys got this "great Idea" to knock it down. So they brainstorm for a while and come up with this "Great Idea". Yeah right!

Really though just looking at this picture need I say more?

So after what happened with the stick last time we were down here , Heather and I knew to have cameras ready. Heather was trying to take video of it but when the bees started to come out she went running and it stopped.

So their "Great idea" was that they will put the cooler under the hive and Anthony will pull it off with the hoe and Eric with close the top before the bees come out, Right? WRONG!! So as you can see in the video , before it cuts out, they go to do it and the lid falls and spooks the bees. The bees come flying out and Anthony goes running off (and almost runs into a tree) and he ended up getting stung in the ear! They are so dumb!!!! After all that they got smart and went and bought bee killer and sprayed in there and killed all of them and got the beehive down. Nice work boys!

Fun Slide

At the orchard they had slides with potato sacks to slide down on. They were so much fun!

Braxton was scared at first but after we went down the first time he loved it and was mad when we stopped.

Happy 4TH of July

I wanted to get some cute 4th of July pics and I thought what was 4th of July more than watermelon and a flag?

Carmine using blueberries as his eyes.

More 4th Fun

All the kids on the 4th eating a snack.

This is Neelah, she is almost the same age as Braxton. The last time we were here she and Braxton fought all the time over toys. This time they were good buddies. (which I was happy about!)

Heather and me.

HaPpY 4Th !!!!!

Sparklers!

Braxton was holding a sparkler for the first time. I totally liked it, I thought he would be afraid of it.

It was Carmines first time too, he liked it a well.

Fireworks

While we were waiting for it to get dark enough to do the fireworks the kids were catching fire flies in a jar. It was so fun to watch.

Carmine and Brax were trying to catch them in their buckets.

We are about to start the fireworks and they boys are very excited!

Friends

Here is all the kids and Heather watching the fireworks.

Carmine and Braxton LOVED the fireworks. Last year Brax fell asleep and Carmine covered his mouth the whole time. This year they were both saying "more fireworks Mommy?"

Carmine and Finn enjoying the fireworks.

I have no idea why he is sitting like this but I thought it was a funny picture.

Baltimore Aquarium

This past weekend Anthony's brother Nick and his daughter Jade came up to visit. We took the kids to the Baltimore Aquarium and it was a lot of fun! Here is Carmine by the harbor waiting to go into the aquarium.

They had these big water things that had bubbles in them. The kids thought they were cool.

They had the biggest sting rays I have ever seen. This is not even the BIG one.

This is called a zebra shark, I guess when they are born they have stripes and then it turns into spots. Weired!

More Aquarium

They had about 3 sharks in this tank. It was so cool to see them up close.

Carmine, Braxton and Jade.

Look how BIG that fish is. Can you believe Carmine isn't even scared of it!

The dolphin show

To end the tour we went to the dolphin show. I liked it the best, I think the kids did as well.

I could seriously watch the dolphins all day if I could.

They are so cute!

Ever since we saw the dolphins Carmine and Braxton like to pretend they are dolphins. They say "hey Mommy watch", and they will jump high in the air and say, "I'm a dolphin".

Ahoy!

After the aquarium we walked around the harbor and saw this ship wheel. The boys wanted to try it and were saying "arrr I'm a pirate".
