Blueberry FEVER

Life has been a bit chaotic in our household as of late. This summer feels as though it is FLYING by and as soon as I catch my breath off we go again on more amazing family adventures. I absolutely LOVE it! Now that we have strawberry season kinda past... we moved into blueberry season and where we live it has PLENTY of blueberries all around! So today we went picking at a local organic ranch and I absolutely FELL in love! Here are a few pictures from our day... A little out of order but you'll get the gist of it:-) We plan to go again later this month.

 Made yummy blueberry jam that does not need added pectin... it is SOOO delicious we've been eating it with sweet corn muffins! MMMMmmm! Have I ever mentioned how much I love food?
 Mbaby... my helper:-D
 L2, Mgirl and I started off with 3 buckets....
 Though this face doesn't show it... she absolutely LOVED eating, I mean picking blueberries!

 She was such a wonderful help! She was showing me that this one was ready and that the green and pink ones were not.... though she would have rather picked all the pink ones... does that surprise anyone? haha
 Aunt S and the girlies join in the fun as did gma G
 hard at work going from tree to tree
 Mgirl and I collected about the same amount
 L2 would have if they would have made it to the bucket and not her tummy:-)
 The girlies... I love this picture. I don't know why but they just look happy, don't they? Between Mgirl, L2 and myself we picked over 14 1/2lbs of berries!
 Lunch at an AWESOME restaurant near by
Mbaby enjoying the fruit of our labor:-D 

I hope you've enjoyed your day! I know I have!

Love,
L1 and family
