Blueberry Picking


Berry Patch Farm

Yesterday we went to Berry Patch Farms to go blueberry picking. More just for fun, than we really needed blueberries. It started out great, Katie finding blueberries for her bucket and Sam running around free in the rows of bushes/thickets.

After this, it quickly took a downward turn. It started to get unbearably hot, Katie pricked her finger on a thorn, and it turned out was allergic to something she came in contact with. So I quickly packed both kids up and headed home with my measly 1 1/4 lbs of blueberry. I think the trip would have gone better had we done 2 things. 1) Gone early, early in the am to avoid the heat and 2) Made sure that Miguel went with us. So maybe next year we'll attempt it again, and I'll be at the ready with the Benadryl.

Sorry your berry picking got cut short! Were there plenty of blueberries? Mike heard there was a shortage this year, so we haven't gone. But if you got a lb. in that short amount of time, it must not be too bad!
