Blueberry Picking

It was a cool morning, but the kids were warm running around the farm.

They went far to find the perfectly big blueberry.

We did better this year!

Strapped!

Aly was showing me the big ones she found.  She looks very pretty in this picture.

Sean found "the one" towards the end and carried it around until he accidentally squashed it in the car.  He was very upset about that.

On last Saturday, we went to the blueberry farm on 148th to pick one of Aly and Saya's favorite fruits.  We went there last summer as well and Sean and Aly had a blast.  I remember Sean was directing two-year-old Aly to pick the right ones and tossed out the green ones that were put in the bucket.  This year, Miss Saya had the chance to pick some.  She was very excited to pick them, however she could not stop eating them off the bush no matter how much we told her not to.  So, she joined Noah and was strapped in the stroller.  She was not happy about that!  We didn't take any chances with Noah.  The farm is on a very busy street without any fence and he could easily elude us behind blueberry bushes and disappear within seconds.  Sean was so happy and was chatty the whole time.  "Mommy, look at this one.  It's huge!!" "Oh, this one is my favorite one in the whole world!"  It was fun listening to him talk.  Alyson joined the conversation and they were pretty cute together.  We picked about 3 pounds of berries for $3 and the girls and I ate them at home.  They were a bit sour, but the girls didn't mind it.  We will visit again next year and continue to go every year as long as the kids are willing!
