So we headed off to Soda Springs last weekend to go Huckleberry Picking. Derek is obsessed with Huckleberries and has even tried to grow them in out backyard several times. It was fun and the boys had a blast. Well Cannon did most of the time except when the red ants got him. The boys were playing and all of the sudden Cannon started crying and we asked him what was wrong. Easton comes stollin up and says "Oh he just has red ants crawlin all over him" like it is no big deal. Poor Cannon got eaten alive. They even got in his diaiper and bit his little bum all up. The joys of camping :) I think Mitt had the most fun. We ran him until he was so tired he couldn't keep his eyes open. Now he has a huge blister between his toes. Maybe that will keep him from diggin for awhile! Thanks Grant for directions to the great pickin spot!

When we were there the week before, there were thousands of Springtales, at first it looked as if there was a bunch of dirt on our tent, after a closer look there were moving. I guess they are harmless, must be a necessary ingredient in the Huckleberries.
HOLY COW!!! that is a lot of berries!!! they look delicious:) i can totally hear Easton making that comment so non shalontly (totally don't have a clue how to spell that :)
I am impressed. We are huckleberry fans! I have the best huckleberry muffin recipe I will bring to you at the camp out. We took Dad and Mom last weekend for 2 1/2 hrs and picked 2 1/2 gallons. We love them.
I don't even want to know how long it took you to pick those itty bitty berries. Love the picture of Mitt and Derek.
