Blueberry Pickin'

Blueberry picking is always on our list of summer to dos.  There are several farms nearby so one Saturday while Daddy was at camp for a meeting the girls ventured out.  Sweet Mama had never picked blueberries before, so we had her come along to help us gather this year's bounty!  The morning before we went we read Blueberries for Sal.  Just like Sal, Clara managed to fill her belly with berries, but by the end of the morning there weren't any in her bucket.   

After we were done picking, we enjoyed a picnic together before heading home.

And once we got home with all those blueberries, of course we had to bake some blueberry muffins.

Ahh, the sweet tastes of summer!

Babies and Blueberries

This morning we headed out to a local blueberry farm to pick our own (before this heat hits and we're all confined to the air conditioning!).  The kids had a great time, even if at 15 months they are totally unable to discern between ripe and not-so-ripe blueberries.  Sami and Chloe ate their weight in blueberries and Clara, well, she had a good time.

When we got there, Clara took her bucket and jumped right in....

There were so many blueberries to choose from!

 Blueberry picking can be hard work.  When Clara needed a break, she plopped right down in our bucket.

Chloe was still going strong though!

Clara's friend Sami joined in on the fun, too.

Sami looked like he was having so much fun eating blueberries, Clara thought that she would feed them to him...

Thanks for a fun morning, everyone!
