For the Love of Blueberries

This past weekend we went on our annual blueberry picking adventure.  It was an overcast day but we thought we would try and beat the rain.  Last year Lily was just a little babe in the carrier, sleeping the who time and not really knowing what was going on.  This year she ate and ate.  She walked around in amazement at the idea that blueberries were there for the taking.  Sam on the other hand went about the task of picking systematically.  He took his task very seriously, making sure that we picked the right ones and took out any that may have had just a little too much green or purple.  We were picking BLUE berries after all.  
I find blueberry picking to be the easiest with the kids as the bushes as just the right height for them.  They each get a small little basket and it is filled in a matter of moments.  It was far easier than both raspberry and strawberry picking.
