Mmmmm...Berries

My friend Kathy told us about a "you pick" raspberry farm that she visited recently and I knew we had to try it. Isabel is OBSESSED with fruit and other than "bloobies" (blueberries) raspberries are her current favorite. So, since today was a gorgeous Sunday, and my last free day before school starts, I convinced my mom and Jason to make the drive out West to go picking. It didn't take us very long to get there (maybe 25 min. or so) and the place was really great. It was actually just some one's GORGEOUS home with a raspberry field on their property. They operate under the "honor system" so you just grab a container and then put your money in a locked box. They even provided a tub for washing the berries and bug spray! (And boy do you need the bug spray because they were vicious) Isabel got the hang of picking very quickly. Unfortunately, for every berry picked, she ate three- so we didn't end up with too many in our bucket. Luckily, My mom picked a basket for us to share.
