Definitely not Big Foot

The hill on the edge of the field next to our house is *covered* in raspberries and blackberries...and sumac trees, honeysuckle vines and poison ivy. Ella and Shane could eat their weight in berries (any kind) every day. That would get a bit expensive so we're very grateful to have such an abundant supply nearby.

I mowed a little path to the hill but Daddy was on his own to make his way through the tangle of vines and trees to actually get the berries.

Shane can/will eat them as fast as you put them in the bowl so Daddy woke up early one morning to pick a bunch hoping they'd last at least for breakfast. Ella somehow sensed her daddy was up so she put on her flip flops and joined him while still in her jammies.

I woke up and realized they were both gone but didn't know where to. I saw the front door was unlocked so I figured they were down the hill and grabbed the camera.

In the picture below, it appears I've captured a little seen forest creature known as Little Foot. If you're lucky enough to spot her yourself, you will likely find her in a tutu with a tiara.

Out of order as always! Below is before I was spotted. Above is after...
