blueberry picking!

There has been a few things I wanted to do this summer with the family like go to the beach, go on nightly walks, go mini golfing (which we still need to do. I really want to because I have never done that before.) and go blueberry picking which we did last monday. It was fun but short lived. We didn't end up leaving the house until noon so the sun was out but it wasn't more than 85 degrees I think. Anyways, it was about 20 minutes away and this place was huge! You first go in a barn and they give you your buckets and some rope to tie the bucket around your waist and then they gave us the direction to go and told us to pick after the yellow flag that was in middle of a field. We started picking and Dallas was on the ground being just as cute as can be He liked being in the grass and exploring.this next one looks like he's waving to me from the distance. I love it because you can see the rows. Everything is so green. I love that about Indiana.We were all having fun but as I said before it was short lived.

poor baby Dallas started getting hot and then a mean horses fly bit him on his little arm and he actually had two bleeding puncture wounds and starting crying. darn all horse flies. I do NOT love THAT about Indiana. Only half an hour of picking and we were done. It took us almost twice as long to get there than the time we spent picking, but when Dallas is done we have no choice but to be done as well. So We combined both of our buckets and got one whole pound! yay. haha.The lady that we paid back in the barn was almost laughing at our little one pounder but she obviously didn't have any kids and therefore couldn't understand. It is SO cheap if you go pick the blueberries. I think it was $1.70 per lb. You can't buy the tiny cartons at the store for that much. and the blueberries were soooo goood. We tried a few things with the blueberries and my all time favorite was blueberry pancakes that I made for Dylan's birthday which I'll show you when I post that event. (look at me already planning future posts, I must be getting in the mind set of a true blogger.) So after we got Dallas a drink of water and buckled in the car, I sat in the back with him and he was so cute! Here he is with our vast abundance.It didn't take long before he was going....

....going....

....gone!

It ended up being a very fun day. blueberry picking - CHECK.
