The first month we were in Louisiana we had some friends that invited us to go blueberry picking with them. We had never been to a real farm to pick anything before so we were up for it, even if it was 100+ degrees outside. We went to Blueberry Hill Farm and grabbed buckets and picked until our buckets were sufficiently full, which wasn't much for B. He was done after about 5 minutes and said, "Mommy, can I go wait in the car with the air conditioner on and you can finish picking berries for me?" We picked about 2 lbs of berries and paid only $6 for it. We took the berries home, froze half and ate the other half the rest of the summer. They lasted for two months in the fridge! And they were just as good, if not better, when the missionaries helped us finish them off only two weeks ago!
This was really fun and something memorable for the kids. I think we will make this part of our summer tradition here...finding our berry thrill on Blueberry Hill!

how fun pickin' blueberries! Go eat at Merci Bouquet in Natchitoches.... my favorite place ever! and the alligator farm there. Anyhoo, I can't believe how big Kalli and Bronson are! And Finn looks so cute! Have fun there!
I love blueberry picking! So much better when they're fresh and it's amazing how long they last, which makes you think how long those bluberries at the grocery store have been sitting around before you've bought then when they go bad in less than a week...What a fun tradition that will be :)
