Picking Huckleberries

We went with some friends up to pick Huckleberries for the first time. We had a great time, and huckleberries are delicious. Emma's called them "Purkleberries". We went to the very top of a mountain, and went to a secluded spot where I'm sure many a bear roam, since they love huckleberries. Our friend who took us there called it "huckleberry heaven". Lots and lots of yummy goodness. Emma only got like 5 in her little bag, since most of them went straight to her mouth.

On a fun note, I got to use the 4 wheel drive for the first time ever, as we were going up old logging roads that were ridiculous. (Probably not bad at all, but I felt really brave). Shane had to work, so it was just up to us. It was such a fun trip. The next morning we had huckleberry pancakes for breakfast....yummy!

Again, our friend Mark took a bunch of amazing pictures, here's the link to his whole set on flickr. So fun and as you'll see, so beautiful!
