Pickin' Raspberries

Yesterday we picked raspberries up at Grandma's & Grandpa's house. (Monte's parents) We met Aunt Amy, Lyndon & Emily up there and we picked for about 2 hours. Aunt Maria, Brenden, Tyrelle, Haiden, Maeson, Kianna and Eastyn also joined us after a while and the kids all jumped in the pool together to cool off. All in all it was a fun day with only one mishap - Colten got stung by a bee. Thank goodness he is not allergic like Monte is or we would have been at the hospital! Kaylee had to pose for me - I forgot to grab the camera while we were all out there!
We ended up without about 4 of these pans full. Guess what I'm doing today? Yep - making raspberry jam!

Yummy!! My favorite is Raspberry Jam. We're planning to go out picking tomorrow at a farm in the valley. We have some in our yard, but only enough for the kids (and me) to snack on during the day.

YUM! I need to plant some raspberry bushes. My mom used to make Huckleberry Raspberry jam and that sounds so good right now.

Yum! I love raspberries. I need to plant a few more bushes in my garden so we can have more than just a snack.

That looks like so much fun. I loved going with my mom to pick raspberries. I think I always ate more than I picked.
