Blueberry Picking

We wanted to make sure we picked some blueberries before the season was over so here we are with our buckets. The blueberries were very yummy and very cheap. The only problem was that the Berry family didn't get enough blueberries because we kept eating them and spilling them. But, hey, it was fun nonetheless.


















To my surprise the kids did a great job at picking blueberries (besides eating and spilling them). They were very good workers and also seemed to enjoy themselves.

















Roman wasn't so good at picking blueberries. He crawled and drifted alot. A couple of times I couldn't find him because he could get through the rows so easily I'd lose sight of him quickly. But we found him having fun on his own.


















Sami was her usual quiet self. She stayed to herself and kept picking. She actually picked alot, but we just didn't take home much. She did wonderful - until she had to go potty. I don't know if you know this, but there are no potties in blueberry fields.



















She was quite pleased with her work.


Once I fed Roman a blueberry he figured out that he wanted more. Unfortunately he didn't figure out picking them off the trees (or bushes?) he kept picking them up off the ground, with a handful of dirt. So, unfortunately, the mess you see is mostly dirt from tasting blueberries off the ground.
