Huckleberries

The weekend before school started was prime time for picking Huckleberries so we headed up to Grace on Friday night. We love picking huckleberries every year, it's one of the great things about being back in the west. We headed up to our special spot around 11:00 and were joined by Sarah and her boys, Kenny's cousins Shannon, Lance, and Danny, Kenny's parents and later Kingston's came up. We found some good areas and were able to get about a gallon of berries. I love sitting in the huckleberry bushes with family visiting and just enjoying the great outdoors. It's so relaxing to me.

I didn't take many pictures, but here's one of the kids roasting hot dogs.

Gracie was sooooo messy.

In true Newbry fashion the huckleberry picking turned into a huge event complete with a screen tent, fire pit, and way too much food. We roasted hot dogs, cooked hamburgers, made smores, and roasted starbursts. It was great. I LOVE huckleberry picking.
