Berry Picking

 Friday morning we all got up early and headed to pick raspberries and strawberries. We heard about a place close by from some friends last year.  We wanted to go but never made it.  We were a little early on the raspberries and they were just turning ripe enough to pick.  We started there and found plenty.  In a week or so they will all be ready to pick!  We ran into Garrett's speech teacher from school, he was excited to see her.   
 
We then headed over to the strawberries.  They had two different types to pick.  We went with the smaller variety that had more flavor.  There were tons of them so it was easy to find good ones to pick.  They only stay open as long as they have berries.  They were really busy so we are glad we got there early. 
 



  The kids had a fun time picking strawberries.  We didn't pick very much because we are just planning on eating them.  We might go back again and get more.  They are so good and the raspberries will be riper.  We have been eating them like crazy, they are like candy!  It was a fun family activity and we are glad we made it out this year.
