Picking Raspberries


We have some really great "Pick Your Own" farmers markets around here. I was able to go and pick some fresh raspberries for homemade raspberry jam and icecream. They were delicious. I went with some my friends in the neighborhood, Rachel, Dana, Shersti, and April. It was a pretty cold day, but Michael was a trooper. The smell of the raspberry plants and the taste of fresh berries flooded me with memories of picking raspberries with Grandpa Baird.





After picking the raspberries, we headed over to Young's Dairy for some lunch. They had great things for the kids to do: petting zoo (with goats, sheep, pigs, chickens etc), tractors and tires to play on, and all sorts of things.

All in all, it was a great day.
