Yesterday, the local moms group, went to a blueberry farm to pick our own blueberries! Our buddies from the neighborhood, Henry and Clara Hartwell, came too! It was fun! They gave the kids a little hay ride over to the blueberry bushes, and let us loose!
H loved the whole experience. I had to keep reminding him to only pick the blue ones, not the green ones, and not to eat too many of them!
C was pretty entertained, too! Everytime I would lean in to pick some blueberries, he would grab for a leaf or a blueberry. He got a couple of leaves and a very green blueberry in his mouth before I noticed... I can't imagine they tasted too good.
They had some little birdhouses for the kids to paint after picking.
They were very colorful....
On the hayride back to the cottage. I wasn't sure if H would stay seated, but he did pretty good!
There they go!
They had blueberry muffins and blueberry lemonade waiting for us back at the store. H loved the juice, and C loved the muffins. What a great day! I almost didn't go because it was very early (so we would miss the heat) and a little ways away, but we had a wonderful time! We might even go back again!
Now, I just need to figure out exactly what to do with a gallon of blueberries!
