Hunter grooms Uncle Otis.

Hunter's impeccable balance!
Don't give him the keys!
A parabola of cranberries.
Picking up those left behind.
We recently spent a day at Double Trouble State Park in Bayville, NJ. I have wanted to see and photography a cranberry harvest for a few years now and learned last year that there is a working cranberry farm in this state park, and harvest is typically in early October. The harvest was 10/9 to 10/12 this year so I grabbed the boys and we made the 120 mile drive in my Acura RSX. For a two hour drive in such close quarters, Reed and hunter behaved in near exemplary fashion. This means I only had to pull over and break up a brawl once. Not bad, eh?
We met Uncle Otis, Aunt Allison, Aaron, Amber and amber's friend Meghan there.
We had a good time. the boys discovered they don't like the taste of cranberries. The farmers tossed us a painted turtle to check out. Reed fell in a stream and the gentleman I asked to take our group photo dropped his Nikon D90 in one of the cranberry bogs (my bad luck rubbing off, I reckon). After he dropped his camera I decided I'd rather not hand him mine
Here are a few photos...I will post some of the actual harvest on my photography blog and add a link here in the next few days.
