We took advantage of Wednesday's cooler weather and ventured out on a fun adventure to Mountainview Blueberry Farm! Ben enjoyed a cozy snuggle in the Moby wrap and Linda, Mom and I had fun wandering through the bushes gathering berries. Many other families were out and it was so fun to see all the little kids picking with their families. We overheard one little boy tell his mom, "These aren't fresh ones, Mom - they are all wrinkly!"
I had fun remembering one of my favorite childhood books, Blueberries For Sal, where a little girl goes blueberry picking with her mom on a hillside. Little Sal picks the berries and they go "kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk" in her little pail. And then she promptly eats them and starts all over again. Made me smile as my berries hit the pail and my own little one snoozed away against my chest.
There will be lots of blueberry pancakes, blueberry crisp, and blueberry muffins in our house these next few weeks!
Looks like you all had a fun day. The blueberries look delicious. Our "kitchen coordinator" from church made blueberry pie for staff meeting a few weeks ago--it was delish!! Regular crust with blueberries sprinkled with sugar--just melt in your mouth good.
