Don't those look yummy! I love blueberry picking (Mostly because it is sooo easy--there are no pricklies involved). Monday I took the girls to this darling little farm to go blueberry picking. I was a little worried (mostly about little A), but overall, they did so good. I was quite pleased.
The girls got their buckets and after a short lesson about which berries to pick (the blue ones) from Ms. V, they were off.
T was very focused on the task at hand, A was more into eating the berries, picking the dandelions, and petting the cat. Baby M hung out.
and took a little nap.
I couldn't have asked for better weather (middle 70's, my favorite), and better company (some adorable ladies from church). We were out there for about 1 1/2 hours. I was impressed we made it that long. In the end I got 8 pounds, T got 3, and A ended with 1 (Notice the dandelions in every bucket--that was also Ms. A's contribution.)
We had to make a stop at Sonic on the way home for 1/2 price drinks as a reward for working hard (and because I totally forgot to bring water--I don't know what I was thinking.) 4 1/2 pounds were for my neighbors that couldn't come, but I now have a good stash in my freezer. Does anyone have any yummy blueberry recipes they want to share?

what a fun day blueberry picking!! my kids don't even like the texture of berries and won't eat them, so I am not sure how they would be at picking them. I have heard about 1/2 price drinks at sonic, sounds like a fun time!
I think Brit has a fabulous recipe for Blueberry, or maybe it was Blackberry cobbler on her blog somewhere...check it out.
what a fun outing. you guys always do the fun stuff. i need to live closer to you so my kids can have activities to participate in!
Put fresh blueberries in waffles. YUM! It is so nice to have you back. I was pleasantly surprised to find you had a new blog. Tell S congrats on the tri.
I miss seeing you at the Library. Where did you end up going? Scott and I go to Sauvie Island each year. I would love to find a place that is closer.
As for recipes, I made berry jam with some of ours last year.
I remember picking blueberries as a kid. So fun!
