Huckleberry Heaven


Our little family went and picked huckleberries last weekend. It was a first for all of us except Ry. We started our fun with a picnic lunch and then proceeded up the mountain for an adventure of huckleberry picking. Annika loved it and ate more than she kept. Micah on the other hand was out his element. We kept him entertained by singing songs and sitting him down on fallen tree logs. He didn't enjoy standing amongst the huckleberry bushes. We picked about 3/4 of a gallon and the kids were ready to go, it took us 2 and 1/2 hours.They were both good sports and it was a fun memory to make.

There is always the first time got
huckleberry picking. It's hard with
kids along, but fun memories. It's
important to include the family.
Love Mom

Glad you found some. I'm glad you want these family memories. Some times its a little tough on the kids and the adults for that matter. That just makes the memory more precious in the long run.
