Today we took the kids to Sauvie Island for some country time. It is amazing out there in that you can grow just about anything and the hills from the gorge all around are just beautiful. We decided to go out since summer is closing thus meaning that certain fruits will now be in season. So, we went to the Pumpkin Patch and picked about 11 pounds of blueberries, and we got about 20 pounds of peaches for canning. The U-pick does not start until next week unfortunately. We also got some corn, grapes and blackberries and may potentially find a place around here to pick more blackberries. The Pumpkin Patch also has a little barn with some animals in it that the kids thouhgt was pretty neat. It was nice to be able to go out and spend some time in the sun picking berries. The kids were done sooner than we were, but said they had fun and we made lots of references to one of our favorite books, "Blueberries for Sal." Eli has already ordered blueberry pancakes for breakfast tomorrow!
