We frequently go with my sister to a "secret" little patch up on a local mountain to pick the hugest, fat, juicy huckleberries I have ever seen. My niece, Britta, absolutely LIVES to pick huckleberries. In fact, this summer, she is selling gallons of berries to raise money for her trip to Europe next summer as an Oregon Ambassador of Music. So, these are just a few of the fun pictures from one of our many excursions. The mountain air is great, the berries are yummy, but more importantly, the fun and laughter shared with family is PRICELESS!!!
A typical trip with Britta consists of her plugging her iPod in her ears, disappearing in the woods with a bucket and stool, and coming back with the most berries of any person along for the trip.
My sister Leasa caught up in the berry picking fun

A little boquet of all the pretty wildflowers I found...so much color!!!

My nephew Ken...not so much into berries. Instead, trying out his new hiking boots and pack for a quick trip around the mountain while we picked berries.
