Blueberry Picking

Another activity to get us out of the house was blueberry picking.  Last Fall's apple picking was such a blast that we decided to come back for the blueberries.  I took a lot of pictures and couldn't quite narrow them down so I decided to just post them all.

And the picking begins

The fields were on the face of a sloping hill that overlooked a gorgeous valley and we were almost completely surrounded by big trees.

The blueberries were huge, very ripe and the best any of us have ever tasted.

Olivia was more about quanity than quality.  It took some convincing that we only wanted the blue ones, not the green ones.

I had her try a green one and here she is realizing the green ones aren't very good.  It didn't keep her from continuing to pick them though.

We found a spot with some giant dandelions

Can you tell which bucket is Olivia's?  It took awhile to sort out all the greens.
