a u'pick adventure

a couple months back we went raspberry picking. i wanted to try my hand at making some raspberry jelly and figured i needed a lot. apparently 3 quarts is a bit much, but we had SO much fun picking. the boys ate so many there that we had to tell kid #1 that he could only eat every 5th one because it was getting excessive! the jelly turned out, and i have some frozen raspberries in the freezer still. i have some pureed concord grapes to make into jelly, and i'm thinking of mixing it with some raspberries since i'm not a huge fan of plain ol' grape. what do you think would taste good mixed in with the grape jelly?

here's the day in photos....

 a delicious raspberry ready to be picked.
the boys going at their jobs.

me and the booger babe. he snuck a couple of berries for himself when i leaned over to pick. 

i got to pick like mad for a bit to round out our quarts while the kids played in a kid-friendly area. (read: roped in and had some tree trunks to hop on as well at the chair above to take pictures with)

 we are still working on the *look at camera* for photos...
our loot!
