Berry Picking

Blueberries grow in the wild all over Norway. Last week Elisabeth and her girls invited Avery and I to go with them berry picking. We ended up going to a place just a mile or so from our home. It is a place with many trails back into the woods that I'm sure we will visit many more times. Once we got there and found some berries to my surprise they were exactly like our Montana huckleberries! How flipping cool is that. So we spend a day wandering the trails and picking berries. It was great fun. That Sunday I drug Jeff back up there for another couple of hours of picking. We got enough for a pie! What a great place and what fun days.

If you click on this to make it larger you can see all the berries.

The pie that Avery and I baked! I still can't believe we found these berries here. I had been bummed out since every year back in MT we went and picked huckleberries around this time. What a wonderful surprise to find them over here.

Yummy Lacy! I miss your baking skills! So do these berries taste like our MT huckleberries?
