Saturday we started our drive to College Station to visit Elizabeth's family and meet Ann Marie. On the way down, we built in a quick trip to Sweetberry Farm in Lexington. It was the last weekend for blackberry picking, and I have been wanting to do this with the kids for awhile.
We spent about an hour and a half filling two baskets with blackberries and experienced only a few bug incidents. The spider picture is representative of about 5 enormous spiders that we encountered while we were there. The first time, I almost stuck my head into a web. The webs all had jaggedy, thick sections in the middle.
The owners of Sweetberry Farm told us that they call those "banana spiders" (but I have no idea if that is a real name or a name they gave them because they are really big with a yellow triangular section on them). Despite the spiders, we had a good time. You could eat right off the vines (no pesticides) but you had to check for bugs before eating (no pesticides). :)
We arrived in College Station after lunch and met Ann Marie. She was very sweet and we all enjoyed holding her. She definitely has the Kurusz mouth and chin. While we were there, we went to the local pool with Josh, Caleb, and Kyle to give Elizabeth and the baby some downtime. It was a lovely day!
