This was the first time blueberry picking for all of us. We went for about an hour and a half and got about 5 pounds of blueberries! Dave and I both agreed that picking berries can be addictive. We said a few times that we were going to stop after this bush, but then we would keep going on a few more bushes. The bushes are close together so when you spot some big, plump berries on the next bush, it's hard to leave them unpicked!
As you can tell from the picture, Dave and I wore the color blue for blueberries (not really) but Lilly was just cute and colorful! She picked a few green berries (not quite ready to be picked) from the bushes, but she thoroughly enjoyed picking handfuls of blueberries from my bucket and stuffing them in her mouth!
So far we've enjoyed eating the fresh blueberries and I made blueberry muffins. I'm thinking about making blueberry banana bread today.
We all had such a good time blueberry picking and it's cheaper than buying them at the grocery store. I think we're going back sometime this week/weekend. Hopefully blueberry picking will become a family tradition in the Summer and apple picking in the Fall.
A note unrelated to blueberry picking but something that's come up between Dave and I is he'll say he feels old but I always (or usually) feel young because he'll always be older than me. I just turned 25 and Dave is 27, turning 28 this December. I'm glad God made us with this 2 1/2 year age difference. :)
