As a family, we come together to enjoy many special occasions. This past weekend it was all about Blackberries. Sharing funny stories remembering how Mom would send Jason and I into the berry patch dressed up in layers of long sleeves and long pants with our gallon buckets to be filled with wild blackberries. It certainly did not take us long to learn that chiggers were bad and blackberry cobblers were really good!
This visit to see the NOVA Wade's was just to play and that is exactly what we did. Great Country Farm in Bluemont, VA was our first stop. We thought it would be a great day to let the kids run and play and buy some blackberries....that quickly turned into picking our own. Everybody grabbed a bucket and claimed their row. After we (Dallas) ate as many as we (he) picked, we cleaned up and enjoyed the rest of our fun farm day. Petting zoo, picnic lunch, big pumpkin pillow and fun with Nana (Gamaw) and Pop.
Second stop was the vineyard up the hill. The grownups must have looked thirsty, because within minutes we were being treated to tasting 6 different wines and admiring the lovely view. Blackberries make good wine too! Make that 3 bottles to go!
Sunday started out with lots of testosterone! Football training camp for our favorite football team the REDSKINS! The guys were living the dream until their bellies brought them home for lunch.Thanks Jason and Robyn for having us up for the weekend. Love you all!
