Blueberry Picking

Back in August, Ev took a day off work and we took off to Apple Hill for some blueberry picking.  It was exciting when we got there that we had the whole field to ourselves.  It was the tail end of the season and the owner let us know that this was probably the last week for picking and there probably weren't a ton of blueberries left.  We couldn't wait to get out there and see who would pick the most.  It was a bit discouraging because most of the bushes were bare and we only got a few berries off each bush.  But then we hit the bottom back corner of the field and it was full!  Whenever someone would find a full bush they would call out to the others "nothing to see here, no blueberries to be found" and we'd all laugh ~ it was after all a competition!  We filled the bottom of our buckets with Ev and Alorah tying for the most blueberries ~ I think Ev may have even edged her out a bit.  It was such a fun family day.  We came home and made blueberry cobbler ~ blueberry pancakes ~ and froze a bunch for later.  These are the memories I cherish.
