One of my favorite activities! We found a new blueberry patch that’s just a few minutes from our house. After a quick trip to the grocery store and the playground we decided to do a drive-by and see if the blueberry patch was open (it was 5:30pm already). When we got there it looked awesome and was open until 7pm. It’s way out in the country, quiet, on a rolling hill, and ripe for the picking. The kids immediately clamored to get out and pick some berries. Twist my arm. The whole time they were talking about who is more like Little Sal (Eve, of course!) and what we should do with the berries we picked, besides eat them. Lex decided muffins were definitely in order.
I was craving cookies as well so we did some baking today. I let funny boy dictate the cookies so we ended up with oatmeal raisin bar cookies, cut out with cookie cutters. They are tasty at least. :)
why is eve like sal?
i bet Mema will be the first one with an answer for me.
Little Sal puts a berry in her bucket ‘plink’ and then eats two or three, then takes the berry out of her bucket and eats that one too. In other news, she wanders away from mom and ends up following a mother bear, while the bear cub ends up following her mother…..hopefully Eve did not resemble Little Sal in that aspect!
Happy summer fun!
