Blueberry Pickin'

Last week, we met up with some friends and took our kids blueberry picking. We missed the season last year, so I wanted to make sure we got some yummy berries this year. And we did!

It was so much fun! Lucky was old enough to pick this year too. And boy did he pick! He picked one, ate two, picked one, ate two...

We went early in the morning so the weather was beautiful. It was so nice being out in the morning sun and watching the kids have so much fun. Their fingers and tongues were stained purple by the time we left.

Ace raced around the bushes, eager to fill his bucket. Lucky just came to my bucket every time he needed a refill. :) Even with all the berries that ended up in our bellies instead of our buckets, we came home with about 7 lbs. of organic blueberries.

We came home and baked some scrumptious blueberry muffins too. I'm surprised the boys didn't turn into blueberries, they ate so many!
