Birthdays, Berries, and Bee Stings

Can another year already have passed?  It seems the other day that the twins had their 5th birthday, and now they are turning six! Crazy times....
So, I wanted to give them their gifts today, and I swung by the house to visit while they were all out at the barn tending to various fix-it projects.  The girls thought their little stuffed animals were cute and were happy to each get a bag of Skittles (can we eat them now?), and all was fun.
Then we munched on a few blackberries that the girls had been picking, and all was fun.
Then it was suggested that we go and pick some more along the trail bordering the pasture.  We picked and munched, picked and munched.  The girls insisted that I take all the berries we were picking so I could make some cobbler for my parents when I went over for dinner.
And all was fun.

Until ....
It all started with Cooper (the dog) getting stung.  Big sis noticed and we were all concerned, but she seemed fine, so we kept on picking.
THEN we noticed it.  A wasp's nest bigger than my head was resting on the ground just to the left of the trail, and a bunch of wasps were crawling all over it.
EEK!
I'm sure my eyes widened, and I imagined the worst - wasps flying and crawling all over us, stinging us eight times each.  We all decided to GET OUT OF THERE QUICK - - - -
But we weren't fast enough.  Poor Sawyer got stung once and Rylee 2 or 3 times, including on her jaw.  Cass and I were fortunate enough not to get stung, but there were tears!  I can still hear Rylee scream when she first got stung. I thought "this is it!" Wasp apocalypse.
We got out of there okay though, and their mom came running, ice packs were administered and Benadryl given, tears were dried and all was well.
Happy birthday, twins!  I love you lots and you are brave, adventurous girls!!  Hugs and kisses and quick healing!
