Blueberry Picking!

Friday morning Joshua, Matthew and I went blueberry picking with Erin, Owen and Aiden at Beard's Farm out past Dorr. Joshua and Owen were very excited about picking their own blueberries! Erin and I put the babies in front carriers, we got our buckets and directions as to where to pick and we set off picking. We were told it was the end of blueberry season and the blueberries were what they were. The variety we picked were on the smaller size, but were very sweet. Erin and I figured we'd be lucky if the boys lasted a half hour picking, but surprisingly they hung with it for an hour. Matthew wasn't quite so excited about being in the front carrier and not moving very much so he spent a good deal of time letting everyone know he wasn't thrilled with our little picking adventure. Thankfully the bushes were nice a full and had quite a few blueberries on the lower branches for the boys to pick. After an hour of picking all the boys had it and we headed in to weigh and pay for our blueberries. Surprisingly we picked just over 4 pounds and paid all of $5.50! On the way home Joshua declared, "I love picking blueberries!" We have been enjoying our blueberries daily and have even made a fresh blueberry pie to eat. I think this may become a tradition since we had so much fun!
