Berry picking time



Every summer since House Ape #1 was born we've gone berry picking out on the coast. It's one of many little family traditions we love to keep -- plus it's so fun watching how the kids have grown up with these funny little traditions we started years ago. In the past we've gone in time for strawberries & olallieberries, but this year we missed the season only to find boysenberries a plenty! H.A. #1 is a great berry hunter & pro picker now, though we think she eats more berries than make their way into the basket. H.A. #2 has some berry picking skills yet to learn ... but he was quick to discover that the bright red ones are not fun to eat! So he had more fun running up & down the rows, throwing rocks & checking out the spider webs.
