Blueberry picking

My mom, the girls, my niece Stella and I went blueberry picking this afternoon.  Since we have moved here I have slowly discovered how many people pick blueberries and fill their freezers with them.  Well in the last two weeks I have begun to realize what that means, it means ice cream buckets full of blueberries!!  The last week I was asking around where to go and I always got the same answer....go off on a two track (like an ATV trail, which are everywhere) into the woods and you will find them.  Sometimes I got a more specific direction "go on a two track into the woods where there is sandy soil."

So today we ventured out and found them!  I will never eat blueberries from the grocery store again!  First of all, I like blueberry flavor things but I have never really liked eating plain blueberries....today I could actually taste the "blue."  And Clara!  This girl has always downed a tub of them, but today we had to take them away from her because she was shoving them in her mouth so fast!!

Here is our little adventure:

I had to take this picture because when we started out Nora picked "a" blueberry and kept saying "mommy I picked a blueberry."  So all the girls chimed in the chorus until I said, "that's great, but I want your bowls filled to the top."  Clara's bowl, of course, came home empty, but it did make it up to about 12-15 berries!
