Berries, Berries, and more Berries!

A few weeks after strawberry picking we went cherry and blueberry picking. When we arrived at the farm the attendant told us that they also had black raspberries!!!!  Black raspberries are my all-time favorite berry and you can't buy them in the store.  So when they told us we could pick them I was absolutely ecstatic! We started with picking the black raspberries and after picking and entire bucket then we went to pick blueberries.  Elisha really liked picking the blueberries! Andrew showed him the blue ones and Elisha would reach in a pull them off the bush, he also loved carrying the basket around.  We then picked a few cherries although, we were a little late on the cherries and many of them were molding on the trees.  We enjoyed picking the black raspberries and blueberries so much and got them for such a good deal we decided to go back a second day to pick them again! I have also been having a lot of fun baking with all the berries.  I think my favorite new recipe is for Lemon Blueberry muffins!  They are delicious and have some pretty healthy things hidden inside.  I also made a Strawberry/Blueberry Cobbler which was a huge hit!

Picking Cherries!

Mommy climbed the ladder, so I guess I will too!

Daddy climbed the ladder to pick some cherries too!

Mommy, you and Daddy both did it.
Why can't I climb the ladder?

This is was our loot from our first picking adventure!

Have a mentioned before that summer is my favorite season!  Berry picking, fun family things, vacation, and time at home with my boys- seriously it's the best!
