Berry Picking

Ryan, Kendall and I went blueberry picking with friends over the weekend.  Ryan totally got into it.  He was so focused on getting every blueberry off the bush he was assigned to.  It caught me by surprise, and made me so proud.  He worked so hard!  When it was all said and done we picked 23 pounds of blueberries, and found the best place (besides Grandpa Bill's house) to pick blueberries, Canterbury Farm in Auburn.

The next day Ryan decided we should pick raspberries.  He was adamant about it, so we obliged.  The raspberry picking spot, Remlinger Farms, was not so fantastic.  It didn't help that we went towards the end of the raspberry season, but it just wasn't as beautiful of a spot as Canterbury Farm.  In any case, the five of us managed to pick 4 pounds of raspberries which was just enough to make a batch of freezer jam.  If Natalie had not eaten her share, we would have had plenty to make two batches!
