Berry Pickin'

This morning the twins and I met up with our friends, Erin & Harrison, Whitney & Berkley & Sovie. We loaded up in our big SUV...3 carseats in the back row, 2 carseats and an adult in the middle row. I'm so grateful for our BIG vehicle. We drove to a little place called McBride's Briar Patch in Mapleton, Utah. 

We were met my Farmer McBride and his wife. He quickly showed us where to pick and outfitted each of us with a bucket, tied to our waists. 

The twins were awesome berry pickers and we went up and down the rows, picking just the "beautiful berries" according to Madi. When we were finished, we had close to 3 pounds! 

Then Farmer McBride told us to meet him at the end of the raspberry rows. There was a large fenced in pasture with numerous deer and one goat. Farmer McB brought some cut up apples and let the kids feed the deer and goat through the fence. Harrison enjoyed watching but didn't want to touch. Madi was pretty much afraid. 

After paying for our berries ($3/pound), Mrs. Farmer McB told us to pick a few flowers on our way back to the car. So we did. 

We ate lunch at Cafe Rio and then came home for a much needed nap! What a fun day!!
