Greg has been wanting to go berry picking all summer, and the blackberries were finally ripe last weekend. Carolyn and Amit met us at a U-Pick farm and we picked (and ate our fill of blackberries)!
The berries were HUGE! And pretty tasty, too...for Idaho! :)
Maren and Amit were picking buddies...she got to know if they were ripe by how hard she had to pull. She would give it a little tug and if it didn't come off easily she would say "not ready!" then "keep going!". It was really cute.
Joel bounced around and picked berries with all of us. He loved finding the really big ones.
The rows of blackberries were so overgrown that it was like trying to move through a jungle! Luckily, they were a thornless variety so it was much easier!
We love spending time with Carolyn and Amit!
Taking a break from picking berries. 
Who's been eating all the blackberries?!?

I think we ended up with 11 pounds of berries! We ate some, froze some for smoothies and...
I made my first berry pie! It turned out REALLY good!
