Last week my mom joined me and the boys picking blueberries out in
Coopersville. I was a little hesitant to bringing them all, but figured between the two adults we could handle them. Plus, if they had a meltdown we would be in the middle of a blueberry field........who would care?!! They did amazingly well considering it was 80+ degrees and prime
naptime (we left around 12:30 and didn't arrive home until about 4:30!). Jackson was thrilled to find FOOD at his level........he just kept picking and putting in his mouth (I'm sure he got quite a few tart blueberries). Tim was fortunate to change the
inaugural blueberry diaper (those of you that have kids know what I mean). Reece enjoyed filling his bucket up a bit and then dumping his labor onto the ground. Lucas finally announced to us that he couldn't handle it anymore (in those exact words). The only
casualty we experienced was a pair of Jackson's shorts..............he sat in Reece's bucket and then continued mashing blueberries in the wagon.........huge mess!!! We managed to pick about 13lbs amongst the 5 of us (14 if you include the ones ingested and dropped).
Plentiful blueberries
Jackson first discovers FOOD!
Pick.............
.................and enjoy!!!
REPEAT (infinitely)
Clearly NOT adding to our prize :)
Reece giving brother some love :) Glad I captured that moment......they are few and far between!
Eating......AGAIN!!!
Grandma and the
grandkidsAha!!! It's easier to take from the bucket than off the branch :)
Look how many blueberries Lucas picked!!!
