Annual Blackberry Patch Picking

Today we hit our favorite Blackberry patch for some blackberry picking. This is one of our favorite things to do in the summer. But we needed to start the morning out with some donuts first!






The boy table. Check out that bear claw uncle Chris is eating!


Buckets in hand and ready to go.


Andy is the most serious picker of all. Wispering to Carson on how to find the best ones so that others don't hear his secret. I better not share it here.




Pregnant Aunt Lana decided to park it under the shade tree. So Uncle Chris was left on his own.



Some of the haul. We ended up with 6lbs. Not too bad

Proved to be a tiring day for the girls. It was only 9:15am too.

What cute pictures. Thanks for sharing. That bear claw is bigger that Chris's head. We used to berry pick when I was growing up, but it wasn't in nice neat rows, it was in fields with tall grass and lots of ticks and chiggers, but those berries were the best. So glad you had a good time.
