Blueberries, Blueberries and More Blueberries

Have you ever seen a blueberry bush? They are beautiful plants. On Friday we were invited to a blueberry farm to pick as many blueberries as we could manage to get into our car. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time picking berries. We also got to tour the packaging plant to see the process they go through to get from the field to the truck that takes them to the grocery store. Seeing how much has to happen to get them to the store really helps you understand the price of these yummy little berries.

We learned which berries are good to pick and which ones aren't ripe yet. Micah did a good job differentiating between the two.
He also did a good job getting berries into his mouth. I think he put more berries in his mouth than into his bucket.

Working hard

Ashlyn was there too, but she slept most of the time.

Thanks for a wonderful day Tom and Karen! We've been having fun with the yummy blueberry recipes you gave us and sharing berries with our friends!
