Picking Blueberries

The water in this river was as clear as drinking water! It is the most beautiful river I have ever seen!
The road up to Hatcher's Pass. The most beautiful scenery I have ever seen!

Drew hanging out in the bushes!

Carter helped us pick but he wouldn't eat any! Crazy kid!

Chris and the boys picking Blueberries. Jake just ate them the whole time!

The Blueberries I picked

We went up to Hatcher's Pass at Independence Mine to pick Blueberries. I tried to get my aunt to go with me so she could show me the good spots but she couldnt go so I decided I better go anyways or I might miss my chance. That is the most BEAUTIFUL country I have ever seen in my life. Imagine gigantic mountains, completely covered in green with blueberries all over them and this stream going through them with clean, clear water and the temperature is perfect! (okay maybe it was alittle chilly) It is what I image paradise to look like. Between feeding drew and helping the kids, I didnt get to pick a very long time, but I loved being there and taking pictures. I will definitely be going back
