Blueberry Picking July 5, 2008

Every year before we adopted Emma, Kevin and I have gone blueberry picking. This year with Emma being three years old, we thought it was time that she experience the piece and quiet (except for the blueberries hitting the bottom of your bucket) that blueberry picking has to offer.

Off we went on July 5. It was a pretty hot day. All I can say is Emma is a pro. She loved every minute of it. From the tractor trailer out to the field to the picking, to the washing of the hands with the old fashioned water pump.

If you ask Emma today how you pick blueberries, she'll say "Pick one off the bush, put it in the bucket, pick one off the bush and eat it, pick one off the bush, put it in the bucket, pick one off the bush and eat it". She did do exactly that.

All in all, we picked 13 pounds in 1.5 hours. Not too shabby!! We probably picked 15 pounds but between what Kevin and Emma ate, we only ended up with 13 pounds.
