Blueberries

One of our favorite things to do in the summer is pick blueberries! There's a place near our house where they give you a bucket and you can go pick your own blueberries, you can also eat as you pick. Alina gets our money's worth by eating as many as she can while I pick them! Its best to go early in the morning before it gets too hot. We've gone a couple of times this summer. The first time we got 2.7 lbs and paid $2.70, the second time we got 3.28 lbs and paid $3.61. Its such a great deal compared to the grocery store sale price.

Here's Alina reaching out for the blueberries

Eating them as fast as mommy can pick them!

Here's what Jo-jo got, he didn't like to just eat them as they were picked

Alina just goes straight for the blueberries in the bucket
mmmm...she probably got a whole pound free by the time she was done eating!
We've made blueberry pancakes several times with what we've picked. Also, we made blueberry muffins, blueberry pudding cake and ate fresh blueberries. I've frozen most of them and plan to use them for blueberry blintzes soon (didn't get to it yesterday) and then whatever sounds good!
