Fruit Picking


So we've been having such a busy month. Full of fun and exciting things. We have found a new love in fruit picking. Scott and I are already making a list of all the things that we will have growing in our backyard. These pics are of our blueberry and apple picking adventures. Connor loves it too. We went blueberry and raspberry picking one day and he would carry the pints around, drop a few in, eat a bunch off the bushes and then eat what was in his pint. Silly boy! He loves berries. We've been making all kinds of things with them too--pancakes, syrup, muffins, cobbler, jams, etc. And more to come, I still have about 7 lbs of blueberries in the fridge.
We also went apple picking with our playgroup. We picked half a bushel. I can't wait to smell the pies that will come out of my kitchen. I'm going to have to be giving them out right and left with this many apples! Blueberries and apples are like our new candy! Have you ever had blueberries in vanilla ice cream--DIVINE!!!
