Hunting for Huckleberries

Chris and I decided to take the kids on a little adventure yesterday we went up into the woods hunting for huckleberries. I had never been but Chris has several times so I didn't really know what to expect. It was definately a hunt we hiked up into the woods (no trail) and found some bushes you have to look real close to see the berries they are hidden under the branches the kids thought it was so fun Treagan kept parking himself in front of a bush and would eat until they were all gone. The problem was there were all kinds of berries we didn't know so we had to watch him really close to make sure he wasn't eating poison berries we hunted and picked for about 2 hours and came home with about 5 cups which is enough to make 1 batch of jam, seems like a lot of work for little reward but the jam is delicious.My camera is broke at the moment so I didn't get any pictures! Declan was helping me pick and said mom why did heavenly father make these yummy berries and hide them in the forest he could have just made them grow in our yard! Good question!
