Berry Picking and Hiking...a Walter Family tradition


Here in the Northwest we have endless outdoor opportunities.  In the summer, you can pretty much find us every weekend doing two things....picking berries and hiking.  We love berry picking with the kids, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc...you name it..if its on a bush our kids are attacking it.  The above picture is Autumn holding some fresh picked blueberries.  That particular day, we picked 36 pounds of berries in 40 minutes!!  Pays to have lots of kids when it comes to berry picking!!  We also utilize the abundance of hiking trails her in Oregon.  Sometimes we hike here in the valley, other times we hike some trails on the Cascade range, other times the Coastal range.  Its always fun, and we are so blessed to live in a place that offers so many outdoor activities for our family. The below picture we took yesterday along the trail.
