My family arrived Thursday evening for an end-of-summer adventure. Heather, Michelle, and the kids pitched a tent in the backyard so we had more room for everyone to sleep.

Friday morning we headed out for some blackberry picking. It was a cool, overcast morning; perfect for picking berries.

With all the hands picking, we got a lot of great loot! Even though a lot of the berries got eaten on the way to the buckets.

After a picnic lunch, we took a walk around the Mt. Pisgah arboretum. That's always pretty.
Natalie wanted to carry Mary around in the carrier, the very same carrier that Heather carried Natalie in as a baby.
There were lots of bullfrogs out at the lily pond, which was a highlight of the walk.

One of the things I like about the arboretum is the variety; this area was totally different than the rest of the walk.
Back at the house, we made dinner, complete with fresh blackberry crisp for dessert.

After dinner, there was time for some bug hunting and games before bed.
