I had this brilliant idea to go pick raspberries as a family for family night. Since our raspberries are new we didn't get enough to make lots of jam. So, I found a place that will let you come and pick your own berries. Sounds like fun, right?! NOT!!!! We put buckets on our belts and had the kids help us get berries. After awhile my pants are practically falling off because my buckets are full, and Brian's, well let's just say he wasn't even close to filling his! He was pretty much a spectator.
It took a really long time and it got dark before we were finished. The kids had a great time, but I was really worn out. They tried to help dad out by only putting their berries in his buckets for awhile!
We came away with only one tragedy. Gavin tipped himself over in the stroller so he has a lovely bruise on his forehead.
We did get over ten pounds of raspberries and we have been enjoying them a lot.
