#34 a trip to the blueberry patch

Today we took a trip to the blueberry patch!  I love picking our own fruit...we already picked strawberries this summer and there's still plans to pick blackberries!!  Last year, was our first year picking blueberries and even though it was a hot, hot day {wasn't everyday last summer hot} it was still fun so we decided we wanted to make it a yearly tradition.  The blueberry patch we go to is VERY popular around here so once they say the berries are ready you have to go quickly before they are all gone...the picking last summer wasn't very good for us because we waited too long.  Since the berries were ready we decided to head there tonight!  It was extra fun with some friends too!

{I'm pretty sure the kiddos ate as many as they picked!}

{The superheroes were old pros at what color was the right color to pick...the "blacker" ones are the best!}

{A cheap labor force ;)}

{But I don't know how much picking is actually being done!}

{Don't these girls look like twins??  If you can't tell Ellie is in the pink :)}

{There's also hay bales to play on...fun times!}

{Um, I think you might be too big for that tricycle Ryan ;)!}




Great memories and 4.7 pounds of blueberries later, we have another item crossed off our summer bucket list!
