Early this morning we met up with some friends to do some blueberry picking. I have been wanting to do this for a very good while now and was SO excited to get to go this morning. We woke the kids up before 6 and were in the car with breakfasts in cups to meet up with the group. Once at the blueberry patch (is that what it is called), we got all the kid gear ready and loaded up with our buckets. I knew Jack would get into it, but would Caroline? Tommy was great with her and let her fill her cup up with (mostly) blue blueberries. That was a bit tricky getting all the kids to focus on the very blue ones...no tart ones! We ended up with 3 full buckets (17 pounds!) of blueberries. I am excited to make some jam and syrup to can early this week. I'm also looking for some muffin and other recipes to try. I think our deep freeze is going to be full of blueberries for a good bit! Now, when are the blackberries ready to pick? Anyways, a few pictures from our day..
Jack checking it out. Make sure they are blue!
Caroline getting in on the action. She actually did a really good job!
Excited to move to a new section.
All the kids helping.
All finished for the day!
