Well I spied

a berry bush...




A highlight of our vacation, for me, was blueberry picking.
I haven't done this since I was a little girl, picking blueberries
at my grandmother's house.
This is one of my favorite memories,
as I could never wait for July to pick go blueberry picking
at my grandmother's.
We actually went twice on our vacation and fortunately we will have blueberries,
(which I froze) until Thanksgiving.
The boys enjoyed this outing,
and I think more went in Matt's mouth than his bucket!

Some of my fondest memories of growing up are of trips to the strawberry patch and to the apple orchard. I am so glad that those opportunities still exist and that your boys got to experience it - a wonderful reminder that nature is amazing and there are amazing things beyond technology and gadgets!

I didn't even know blueberries grew on trees! We have blackberry bushes galore here so I guess I just thought they grew on bushes...

I wonder if they have them around these parts, cause that looks FUN!

I would be in heaven--I cannot get enough of blueberries. I hope you got around to reading "Blueberries for Sal." One of my all-time faves.
