Bluberry Pickin'

Today Alina and I went blueberry picking with our friends (Pauline, her kids, her friend Mari and her kids). There's a place about ten minutes from our house were they give you a bucket and you can pick blueberries, then you come back weigh them and take them home. Only $1 per pound, which is a great price! So we had lots of fun with the kids, but it was hot!!! The other kids helped pick the blueberries, but Alina just watched:)

Here she is ready to pick blueberries. Got keep the sun off somehow!
Joel picked a lot of blueberries, Josiah hung out in his stroller next to Alina. They are really good buddies! He gets so excited whenever he sees her.
All the kids after we picked blueberries and we were ready to go home! Mari and Pauline both have four kids, so they each have a buddy their own age and gender!
My bucket of blueberries, it was 1.25 pounds, so I only paid $1.25 for all those blueberries!
I wanted to put my blueberries to good use, so I made this cake my mom makes with fruit a lot. My friend, Leslie, gave me a Texas cake pan a while back so this was perfect. Its hard to tell, but its supposed to be the flag, I used a star cookie cutter to put on the whip cream for the star shape, but it didn't turn out that great:(

That is awesome! I love the cake... and the pan. Someone really great must have been thinking of you when they got that pan. :) You did a good job with it and I bet it was mucho tasty (although not mucho gluten-free)
