Blueberry PICKIN!

we picked blueberries! OURSELVES! super flipping HOT day, but so yummy and well worth the meltdown my daughter had... SMACK in the middle OF A FIELD...pppfftttt! why not?!

a VERY sweet, dear, kind, special friend of mine, Lindsay, told me about this place outside of porterville, where you go and pick your own blueberries, and you pay by the pound..... so we decided to gather the kiddo's (Madelyn, Malorie, Caroline & Marshal,) and set off for a day of blueberry pickin!

it was SUPER hot. we learned alot about the different kinds. Bigger tart ones, smaller sweet ones...etc... and the girls ate WAYYYYYY more than any human child should be allowed....lolol.. (im kidding) but you can eat as you pick...*we think*.. and the girls did just THAT! youll see in one picture Malorie is picking some yummy neon green VERY-UNRIPE ones" lol....


 and madelyn would pick and pick.. and sit and eat.... lol



In this picture with madelyn our car is another 1/4 mile away from BIG tree in the picture.....







we had fun, my girls melted down due to heat and tired, and being kids...
 and it was hilarious AFTER the fact, because i was litterally about 1/4 mile or more from my car, SMACK in the middle of a field, where i litterally could not meet thier needs, and there was nothing to bribe them with, since they were already inhaling blueberries by the ounce.
They had to learn patience and self control REAL FAST. while mommy carried 2 kids to my car, grabbed our snack/water & blanket, and WALK back....lol fun memories!




I LOVE this picture of Caroline! eating the blueberries HEAD FIRST in basket!!!!!!


 MALORIE was DONE!
