A few Sundays ago, Chip had an idea to go pick blueberries somewhere. We ended up in Camp Hill at Blueberry Haven. It turned out to be a very fun day! We walked away with twice the amount of blueberries we intended to pick but it was all worth it! Chip told Karlee that she could have her own bucket and he would have a bucket. The plan was for me and Karlee to pick half a bucket while Chip and Madelyn picked another half a bucket to give us 1 gallon. Well, Karlee decided she wanted to pick a whole bucket herself so we ended up with 2 WHOLE gallons of blueberries!
We put up several bags in the freezer for future use and kept out a few bags for immediate use over about a week. We have had fun making different yummy treats with them!
Madelyn enjoyed the picking just as much as the rest of us did because she was eating them as fast as she could pull them off. She didn't understand to just pull off the big ones. She would get the small, still red, sour ones and make the funniest face as she ate them. The sour taste didn't stop her though!!
Karlee is hovering over her bucket to keep Madelyn from eating them!! Story of our entire day.
Tired and hot but so proud of her full bucket!!
