B is for Blueberry

I had been wanting to go blueberry picking all summer and finally decided that the Friday after the 4th we would go! Vince was not very excited about it (boo) so when my dad said he would like to go I let Vince off the hook. We got down to the The Berry Patch late morning and got our buckets and started picking! Ben was in heaven! He loves loves loves blueberries! More blueberries ended up in his tummy than his bucket. He did really well only picking the blue ones as he learned the red ones are a bit tart. After about 30 minutes Ben was hot and tired-he plopped down under a blueberry bush in the shade and informed us he was ready to go. So we headed back to get our blueberries weighted and pay for them. And then it was off to find some ac and lunch! We just finished eating the blueberries we picked and Ben always asks if they are his blueberries from "the garden" that he picked! I am so excited to go apple picking this fall along with our traditional pumpkin picking!
