Last night Peter and I went our on our first date here in Columbus to check out Easton Town Center (yes, more shopping). While out, we picked up this book that was recommended to us - it's a winner! They have so many great ideas for things to do with kids - festivals, fun places, tours, state parks - most of them within a couple hours of our home! The authors have traveled everywhere with their kids and have many other books, so check out their site - they may just have your state, too! 
One of the listings in the book was for a u-pick farm about thirty minutes away. Since I left my peach freezer jam behind in Kansas and we've been suffering for it, we decided to head out and pick raspberries! The kids loved it, despite a little rain. We ended up with five pounds of raspberries in a little over an hour! When we were finished, all Parker had to say was "It's a good day on the farm!" Bring on the raspberry jam!

Sweet! What a neat find! Parker's comments always crack me up! What a stud!
great book. those raspberries are making me really hungry now. glad you guys are able to find fun stuff to do in the new area.
The raspberries look delish - and I can just imagine your jam! Beryy picking is always a great family activity.
Homemade raspberry jam sounds so tasty. You guys are so good about getting out and enjoying things.
Aww! T-bone is so sweet! I just want to give him a big squeeze! promise me you will not cut his hair any shorter! Parker is undeniably hilarious...Christmas this year should be memorable. (Donkey!!!)
What a terrific family outing! LOVE fresh picked foods! Send some this way! ;)
Sweet find! I hope you guys get to hit a lot of cool places in your year there. I checked the website and it looks like the authors haven't ventured out west yet. Maybe we can team up with them and write a book on the joys of Utah!
Fun for kids at the Gargoyle House!!
I love to pick raspberries! Quick and easy! I'll bet the jam is great too! Can't wait to eat some on Turkey day!
