Barker's Blackberry Hill

When I was growing up, I can remember going into the woods and picking wild blackberries in the sweltering, afternoon sun. We would drag our full pails to the neighbors' house and she would immediately whip up a blackberry pie from scratch. Delicious! Probably my favorite pie to this day. 

In an effort to MAKE similar memories with the little guy, we made a trip down to Barker's Blackberry Hill (Winery) in nearby Crittenden, Kentucky. We had a blast! We picked...

And we picked...

And Colin snuck a few...

Then he got mad because his hands were 'durdy'...

It was a lot of HARD work but in the end we gathered 13 pounds of fresh blackberries! And the pie was delicious! SUCCESS

Taking a picture with Mama, not so much

He's getting so big! Hope to make many more memories like these with him in the years to come. Love ya, Little Man!
