Blueberries and Baseball

Here is some information on the place that I have been blueberry picking. It has been a few years since we have been in town to pick! So I am looking forward to having blueberries in my freezer again. The kids are given their own small buckets to help pick. If anyone wants to go with me and the kids let me know!

Mary Mac Berry Farm - Blueberries, blackberries

2060 Dug Hill Road, Brownsboro, AL 35741. Phone: (256) 534-5328.

Directions: 4.2 miles north of 431. Two miles south of 72 East.

Open: June 15-August 15 Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 7 pm. Be sure to call ahead.

Now on to baseball. Yesterday, Jacob played a double-header and his team did so well. They have lost more games then they have won. Which is fine...it's the experience that counts, right? Jacob was having a great night. His team won the first game and were very happy. For the second game, the coach moved all the kids to different positions. Jacob has played catcher for the last 2 games and has loved the position but he was moved to 3rd base for that game. During the second game, Jacob even got his first home run! I have rarely seen such a happy face on that boy! (Of all games...I didn't bring a single camera!!!) They ended up losing the second game by 2 runs. Turns out that the team we were playing against hadn't had a win all season. I think our coach is a good man who really wanted to make sure everyone had a good experience. It couldn't have been a better night!

This is funny! I just got out Laurie Stewman's card for Mary Mac Farm to see if she was still going to be in business this year. She has some health issues last year so she wasn't sure. We are still eating blackberries from last year! Love that place. :)

Is he in regular player pitch? Thanks for the farm directions. I've been wanting to do something like that with the kids, I just need to get together enough for it. :)
