Luke goes to preschool four mornings a week. During his non-school day last week, I asked him if he'd like to go on an adventure picking raspberries with me. He agreed, and we drove down to McBride's Briar Patch in Mapleton. It was a little chilly, but we put on our jackets, tied buckets around our waists, and prepared to gather gallons of raspberries. About 40 minutes later, we had picked exactly one pound. But that pound was quite delicious.
Luke wasn't as enthusiastic about picking as I was, but was a good sport nonetheless. One thing that he got excited about was looking at the giant grasshoppers we spotted in the bushes. Can you find the grasshoppers in these pictures? One picture even has two grasshoppers.
For our Family Home Evening treat that night, we enjoyed homemade crepes with fresh whipped cream, Nutella, and perfectly ripe raspberries. Mmmm.
How wonderful! The picking' , but hunting', and eatin'!
