Pickin' n' a Grinnin'

Posted in Field Trips

On Saturday, C., Boog, Nemo, Kiddo, and I took a field trip to a local grower to pick blueberries. It was our first time, but C. and the kids 2nd. We had such a good time just being together out in the fresh air and sunshine (when it decided to appear).
Boog, Nemo, and Mom

This is the main house...isn't it BEAUTIFUL?

I just LOVE this house!

The rows of blueberries are actually in their front yard off to the left side when looking at the house. There's Nemo just-a-pickin'!

Rows and rows of blueberry bushes

Boog LOVES blueberries. She spent most of her time there, underneath the bushes eating right off the branches. C. told the woman as we were leaving, "You probably should have weighed here BEFORE she started picking the berries!"

The owner said, "It's okay, Sweetie........that's what they're here for!"

Boog

C. was showing me her "secret" way of getting the berries off the branch.

My sister, C

BEAUTIFUL BERRIES!

BEAUTIFUL!

Kiddo hard at work!

That's my Kiddo!

This is my bucket of berries. It was hard trying to "pick and shoot" at the same time! LOL

I PICKED THESE....COOL!
