"Picking" the Morning Away

At our house, blueberries are a staple! Carter loves all things blueberry... blueberry yogurt, frozen blueberries and milk (Courtney's favorite, too!), blueberry waffles, etc. We decided to make our yearly summer trip to The Fruit and Berry Patch in Halls. We could all get out of the house together, Camden wouldn't be exposed to germs being outside, and we could enjoy the fresh berries and slushies! We went early on Monday, July 11th and it was already incredibly hot! We got our buckets and let the picking begin! We only stayed about an hour but had several juicy berries to take home. We ended our trip with a fresh fruit slush for each of us- Carter had a strawberry slush, Joe had a peach slush, and Courtney had a strawberry/peach slush. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

Carter loves picking... and eating the berries... right off the bush!


Stretching up high like Daddy! (Note the empty bucket- he rarely puts anything into the bucket because it goes straight to his mouth!)


Berry picking wore Camden out!


Carter helping Daddy gets the berries down low!

We had a "berry" good time at The Fruit and Berry Patch!
