P.S. I am going back to Lake Tahoe today! I can't wait! This time I will be going only for a week. And guess what? I am going to drive part of the way - on the freeway! :D I am excited and kind of scared at the same time since I've only driven on the freeway once. G2G!

We Went Berry Picking

Hi everyone! :) Have you ever gone berry picking? My family and I always go every year to a pick-your-self ranch near where we live. We've been going for as long as I can remember and it's one of the highlights of the summer!

We went about a month ago and I'm just posting the pictures now. Enjoy!

And so it begins!

It's such a nice, secluded area in the country where there are farms as far as the eye can see.

Strawberries! One of my most favorite fruits ever. And this ranch has the best strawberries around!

We had a lot of fun. :)

What a weirdly shaped strawberry!

I just had to wear my red Converse. :)

We picked a lot!

After we picked the strawberries, we walked down to the main part of the ranch and the store. This is where we buy the olallieberries. It's such a quaint little area!

As a little treat, we always buy their lollipops. They are so good!

They also sell honey sticks, but in my opinion, they sound better than they taste.

They even have a cute little antique store!

Jams, souvenirs, recipe books, breads, and more!

Outside, there is a courtyard area and a pie shop! I love pie! :)

Now, we drive home to make the jam!

All of our lollipops. :)

The finished product: homemade strawberry and olallieberry jam! I can't wait to go back next year!

Thanks for reading // Have a great day! :)
