Raspberry picking

What a perfect day for raspberry picking with the family. And that's just what we did. On our way to the orchard in Hastings, we saw motorcyles, and lots of them. They were headed to Prescott, WI not far from our destination.

This orchard is quite a bit smaller than we are used to, but it packs in a lot of fun for the kids; chickens, rabbits, goats, a baby calf, hay stacks, pumpkins, apples, and of course raspberries.

Max loved picking the raspberries, he didn't need much coaching, just a few reminders to keep his voice down and "only pick the dark red ones". He ate way more raspberries than he picked but isn't that all part of the experience? (thank goodness they don't charge you for all the berries you eat). Before the camera died on us we managed to get a few photos of our fun family day.

This train is super cool and provides great photo opportunities.

Cheese!

Raspberries all around. Even golden raspberries, which are my personal favorite.

We met up with two other families and wrapped up our afternoon with a picnic lunch with our friends (and a few univited guests; bees and flies) and headed for home. What a perfect way to end another beautiful day in MN.
