Raspberry Picking

We went Raspberry picking at Afton Orchard on Sunday. Nathan started the adventure with a hayride with Dad, which he thoroughly enjoyed! Then he joined me and Mathew out in the raspberry patch. We decided to try the yellow berries, instead of the red or pink. Nathan is a great raspberry picker! He ate his way up and down the rows, grabbing ripe fruit and fillng his belly.

Nathan wanted to pick an entire pint of berries all by himself. I had to expain to him that he'd never fill up his "bucket" if he kept eating the berries! Notice he only has a few berries in his container!

Finally, he let me help him fill his pint. It was hard work! I picked as fast as I could, but the container never got more than half full, since Nathan was eating as fast as I was picking!

And of course, on our way out, we had to get a picture of Nathan on the apple growth chart
