Blueberry Goodness

Thursday evening we headed up north to pick some blueberries. I LOVE picking fresh fruit. It is probably one of my favorite things. John is always a good sport to take us all on these adventures. And the kids seem to enjoy themselves too. We actually improved in many areas this year compared to last year:

1. I remembered the camera.

2. Dallin actually picked some berries.

3. Abigail was a REAL picker this year.

4. Connor is big enough that he did not need to be carried ...

a much cooler experience for John.

The berries were amazing! There were hundreds of berries everywhere! And the bushes are just high enough so that you can hide from the sun behind them (making things a lot more comfortable). And let's be honest you can't beat the price... only $1.50 a pound!!! We ended up picking for about 45 minutes and took home about 6.5 pounds of blueberries. So, if you haven't already picked some blueberries and you live in the Houston area... you really need to head on out to the Moorhead's Blueberry Farm. We love it!

And to finish things off... the kids were so excited... the snow cone lady was there!!! Hooray!!!

Snow cones for everyone. It doesn't get much better than that.

Off to the "orange" section we go...

Dallin was so excited about the "holes" that were just his size. He spent most of his time picking and eating from underneath the bush :).

Abigail was quite the picker this year. She really tried hard to find the biggest and best berries she could.

Connor was pretty funny. He really loved the maze of berries. Off he would go through the rows... after a few minutes we would call him back ... and he would come "toodling" out of some bushes with a few berries in hand. Most of the berries in his bucket we couldn't keep. Most came from the ground. :) Anytime you would bump the bushes berries would fall off.. and Connor thought those were the berries to get :).

Enjoying snow cones as a family. Yummy!

Now it is time to make lots of yummy blueberry treats.
