Fruit picking w/ Nana on Sauvie Island

Located 13 miles north of Portland, OR lies Sauvie Island, a lovely rural place which boast of many family owned farms, U Picks and pretty beaches. While Grady did some work on Nana's bathroom flooring, she took the opportunity to take the older kids to some farms to pick Peaches, wild blackberries and Blueberries~ As you can probably tell by the photos, they had a wonderful time and brought home some lovely produce for Mama.
 
 
you wouldn't think that this lovely place is only miles from busy Portland
 
 
they start their day at the peach orchard


 
then took a leisurely walk where they found a plethora of blackberries to pick
 
 
 


Blueberries were next!



 
 


when they arrived at the blueberry patch, the worker told them to enjoy as many as they wanted..
down in Portland it is the end of the blueberry season

Ryan took full advantage of the offer!

 
Here Grant is hard at work, picking yummy blueberries

well, and eating them of course!

 After picking (half a bucket??) Grant is very tired..
 

Or at least pretending to be! :-)


As they head out of the blueberry farm, the girls noticed these beautiful dahlias

What a picturesque island!
