Blackberries, and some other stuff

I have dreamt about picking wild blackberries for as long as I can remember, and now I live in a place where they're currently growing wild everywhere!  This weekend, my dreams came true.  The young women from church and I picked a huge amount of blackberries and turned it into jam.  It was everything I had hoped for and more.  Pick one, eat one, pick one, eat one.

Then later we went to World Wide Day of Play on base, where Hazel thoroughly enjoyed going down the big slide time and time again, racing with mommy, and getting a special balloon hat.

Other highlights were jumping in muddy puddles, and more blackberry picking/eating.  

And how 'bout this cozy window seat...
