We went to pick hawthorn berries. The boys had fun being in the mountains. The men did the harder work of shaking the bushes, which look more like trees because they tower over you. We also picked a lot by hand.
The boys were introduced to elderberries and loved them. They are a little sour, but I thought they tasted great. I think the boys were mainly excited that they could find berries outside and eat them.
Cedrik and Freddie stayed by the adults and found ways to entertain themselves in the dirt. I love when they figure out how to play by themselves peacefully.
They passed out on the way home because it was so late and they had run around so much.
Julia and I made some hawthorn berry syrup which took way longer to make than we expected. We thought it would be a couple hours and it turned into a 4 hour production. Now we know for next year.
