We went back to Lake Catherine's Blueberries to pick blueberries. We went last year for Mother's Day and wanted to go back again this year. Unfortunately, the drive is almost an hour and half for us from our home. The scenery is beautiful with green rolling hills and new blooming flowers and trees.
Alex had a tough time transitioning from the back seat of the van with his tablet to picking blueberries but once he was ready, he had a smile and picked many berries.
I think the children ate their weight in berries while we were picking them. They even taste tested the different green, red, and blue berries. They would tell you that the green ones are not recommended.
After we picked and ate tons of berries, the children played on the swing set. All in all, it was a good family day together.
We brought home seven pounds of fresh, juicy blueberries. A blueberry pie sounded like a great way to use some of the berries. We bought a GF pie crust on the way home and I made a yummy pie for the first time. Andrew and I loved it. The children let me know that it was YUCKY and they only like "non cooked" berries. I guess that's a better, healthier way to consume blueberries any way!
