On the fourth of July, we went blueberry picking at a farm close to our house. It was our first time and we all loved it! We would definitely like to do this every year from now on. We now have a better idea of what to expect and how to choose better berries -- we realized later that we were in the wrong row and that we could have picked much bigger and riper berries. But they were still yummy and I made a delicious blueberry crumble, after we ate loads of them fresh. My dad said he never thought he would have had the opportunity to pick blueberries and was so impressed with the whole experience. Great to still do "new" things at his age!

Lovely photos of the butterflies and blueberries! Jonny and Peter really enjoyed strawberry picking in England when they were little too. It is a really healthy activity and teaches children where food comes from. Great idea and a lovely outing.
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly place is really interesting too, it is so fascinating to see the metamorphosis.
Thinking of you Ana, and hanging in there for the BIG NEWS! Enjoy the last few days of having baby a part of you before he emerges to join this world.
much love,
Thanks, Granny! Nice to hear about Jonny and Peter strawberry picking -- great memories I'm sure. We prefered blueberry picking because the bushes were our height and very easy to pick.
DeleteYes, the big news is soon to emerge! :) Thank God my mother arrives tomorrow and then baby can come! :)
