Huckleberry Harvest

Sandwiched between two lovely days at Bear Lake, we headed to the mountains to do a little huckleberry picking. Did you know huckleberries cannot be domesticated? Interesting. Have you ever seen a huckleberry? They look like this:

The more purple, the sweeter. The kids had a lovely time picking. I had a lovely time carrying Annie because she refused to walk after her cousins warned her about not stepping on any huckleberry bushes.
We picked enough berries to head back to the condo for homemade huckleberry ice cream. I really liked it. So did Ben. Maybe next year we'll set up huckleberry camp for a few days. They were quite delicious. I used the last of them for muffins this morning. Yum.

YUMMMM! I have never seen them. I thought they would look more like a raspberry. Ice cream=:)
