Today I took the boys to a blueberry farm with some friends. My friend Elizabeth's husband and Daniel are at scout camp this week, so we decided to keep busy together. It was such a beautiful morning (and by that I mean not only the weather but the fact that there were no mosquito's or bees). There are no pesticides on the bushes and you are encouraged to eat while you pick. That we did! Lendl, who LOVES blueberries, wasn't quite sure about eating them right off the bushes but once he realized that it was the same fruit that I buy at the store, there was no stopping him. He ate them by the hand fulls. Daniel on the other hand wanted to fill his bucket to make sure I would have enough to make blueberry jam. He was a great contributor. The kids were so into picking the BLUEberries that they would tell me every time they spotted a red one in my bucket. They would remind me that I need to pick only the BLUE ones. We have enjoyed munching on them all day and will probably be back for more.

Yummy! Cliff's ex wife has a blueberry farm. We need to go picking too!
Sounds like you had a fun day. Blueberries are good for you and the boys had fun too. It is good for all of you to do things like this together. Hope your jelly turns out great!
It looks like you guys had so much fun picking blueberries. Nothing like blue fingers and blue mouths to go with.
FUN! I can't wait for all the blueberries here to be ripe. It's so crazy to me that you guys are so far away!
