Berry Picking

For the third year in a row, we headed out to Wind Ridge Farm to pick blueberries. We got in on the blueberry action early this year and picked a prime day to go. The blueberries were so abundant (as were the pickers)! This was the first year that we didn't have to remind Amelia to only pick the blue ones. She told us actually! Which might be what she is doing in the above picture. (Someone has gotten quite bossy in her 4 year old state).

We picked 5.5 pounds this year which took us a little under an hour. One of the main reasons I like to pick blueberries is because it actually takes more than 5 minutes to do--unlike peaches or apples. We promptly ate about 3 pounds of them and froze the rest. They are great to quickly cool down Amelia's oatmeal. She also loves them in her yogurt and smoothies.

Henry hung in there during the picking, although he was less than enthused. He's all about food these days, but only if he can get a little taste too.
