Huckleberry picking

Last weekend we went camping up in the Seeley area. Our goal... to find and pick as many huckleberries as humanly possible in one weekend. We met our friends, Robin, Trev and their little boy Jake and our friend George and his son Reece. It was a great relaxing weekend and we ended up picking seven pounds of the little purple treasures! For some reason my new camera's pictures turn out grainy on the blog. If you click to enlarge the image it looks much clearer. I'll have to figure that out.

Ave could pick for about 15 minutes at a time before she got bored. At one point she was just squishing the berries between her hands, messy um yes. That's about the time that we stuck her in the car with a movie!

The bushes were like this everywhere!

Yeah if we can hit it right one summer Jess we'll for sure take you. Or if you have a free weekend at the beginning of Aug just drive up to Seeley, you'll find them!
