The girls decided to dig right in and pick as many berries as they could.
Jolie got a little too close, though, and got some pretty long scratches on her arm. We forgot about occupational hazards!
Mierae's favorite thing was playing inbetween in rows of berry bushes. Wasn't it a gorgeous day?
When we got home, we went right to work on our raspberry freezer jam. We love making freezer jam, and it's so much easier than doing the water bath canning.
And who can resist cheesecake with raspberries? We just HAD to make this special treat to enjoy the fresh berries.
And in a matter of weeks, we're on to apple picking. We can't wait!

The best strawberries I ever had were from a farm in Columbus. When we got to Florida we were SO bummed there wasn't even a place we could pick our own pumpkins! PLEASE enjoy them for us, too! And get some of that apple cider. So good!
Yum Yum YUM!! I have yet to go picking anything in Ohio! When you go Apple picking, can I come?
Your freezer jam looks AMAZING! I LOVE raspberries!
That looks like so much fun! There is nothing better than fresh fruit hand picked by YOU (and little dimpled hands)!
yummy. I miss all the u pick fruit in Ohio . ..
I wish you could send me some!! I am glad you were able to go picking :)
I can't believe how big your girls are! It's only been a few months since we've seen you and they look so different!
Ohhh...fresh berries (well, berries of any kind at all!)... they look so yummy! And apples! How I miss US food!
You are always out and about doing fun things and teaching your girls about hard (fun) work. I can't wait to see pictures of your apple picking. You are so creative in your activities you do with your family. Way to be a great example to us all!!
