Today was the first day of berry picking at Webb Ranch so off we went since Mia loves raspberries. It was the first time berry picking at a farm for both of us. Though it was in the high 80s today we both had so much fun. Mia picked a few berries, but soon grew tired of picking in the heat so she ate as I picked. Then we saw the wagons the farm provides and our friend was kind enough to pull Mia and her daughter. I dressed her in long sleeves and pants because of the thorns on the bushes so she was truly boiling. In the pics her cheeks are red and when I took off her hat in the car, her head was drenched.
We picked raspberries (the hardest to get to because they are on low bushes and berries are often hidden), loganberries (i never had them, but am hooked, yummy!), and blackberries (cringed to pay for these as they grow abundantly in Seattle).
I found a yummy sounding recipe for Raspberry Lemon Muffins so Mia and I made some this afternoon with the berries we picked. Turned out pretty well. Mia helped line the muffin pan and did a little mixing, but she liked eating the muffins the most. When she saw the batter in the cups, she was confused and kept asking me where the muffins were. I guess inside her little brain, she did not think they looked like muffins and couldn't understand why I was calling them muffins. But when they came out she was happy and it seemed as though something clicked. Guess I should bake more.
