Blueberry Picking


We took the kids blueberry picking this past weekend. We tried to get there early, but we were delayed getting out of the house some. We arrived at the farm around 9:15 a.m., and it was already SO hot! The woman who owned the farm warned us to look out for fire ants. Jared "found" them for us shortly after our arrival. :-(

The kids all loved it, especially Anna. It was an organic farm, so the kids could eat the berries right off the plants. The boys had been instructed by the owner on how to find the ripest berries, so it was a neat lesson. After about 30-40 minutes, we were all sweaty and ready to go. It didn't stop us from collecting 2.5 quarts of blueberries. We paid $4 for the blueberries and have some great pictures and memories from it.
