Our Berry pickin' weekend

Last Friday we went huckleberry picking, the bushes were loaded. I couldn't believe it, we have always had good luck at this spot, but this year was unbelievable, the berries were BIG too. After picking for a couple of hours we had over a gallon of berries. The kids help us for the most part, but they eat twice as many as they put in the bucket, oh well it was fun being together and we enjoyed the huckleberry pancakes later that night.

Dennie, Sara and Jonathan in the bushes, picking huckleberries.

This is what Rachel and Jared did after about an hour, the dirt in the road is just powder and they had a blast playing in it, laying in it,and rolling in it, needless to say they were covered in it and had to dust off before getting in the van, here they are still pretty clean.

Some of the berries I don't know if you can see how big some of them are but there was some big berries this year.
