Huckleberries!

So I'm kind of obsessed with berries generally, and berry picking is kind of the best thing ever. I grew up picking wild blueberries in the summer with my family, so I guess it's in my blood. Our friends Micheal and Diane took me huckleberry picking yesterday, and it was super awesome. We went into the Hoodoo Mountains (that's a silly name) in Idaho. Michael has a truck, so we went on these wacky backroads through beautiful forests and mountains. It was quite a trek, but worth it. It's a little late in the season for berries, but got up high enough that there were still some.

 

The terrain. It was steep! I kept kind of slipping and actually hurt my arm grabbing onto a treebranch so I wouldn't tumble down the hillside. Berry picking is dangerous, apparently. 

 

I am so so happy in a berry patch. So happy. I can't wait to take baby boy out to a berry patch!

 

The fruits of my labor. I made some little pies out of them!

 

Drool. I love baking, though don't do it much because I don't like having baked goods around the house as I will just eat them. But, 4 little huckleberry pies? I'm ok with that.

It was amazing seeing you Friday night. We truly feel blessed to have you in your lives. You are awesome human beings, and we can't wait to be parents. And, we promise to still love baby boy with all our hearts if he hates berry picking :)
