Berry Pickin' at McBride Berry Patch

We were thrilled when Uncle Terry and Aunt Marissa invited us to go raspberry and blackberry picking with them. We made the short drive over to McBride Berry Patch in Mapleton. You can find the info here at PickYourOwn.org.

The day was cold and rainy, but we were all way too excited to be deterred.

I told Welly to wear long pants, so she asked, "Can I at least wear a skirt over my pants?" :)

Anyway, we picked tons of berries at 3 bucks/pound. (Anyone have a great recipe they want to share?)

Then (while I fed Why-Why in the car), the troops ventured into other parts of McBride farm. The McBrides (who I totally adored, by the way) told them to help themselves to some tomatoes and onions.

Don't these look awesome? Oh yeah, the onions, too.

We had such a lovely time. Truly. That was one of my favorite family outings EVER. Go check out McBride Berry Patch if you're local.

I'm sure we'll be going back!
