A Berry Fine Day

Last week, my mother-in-law took our two oldest girls out blueberry picking.  After being gone for a few hours, they come home with bellies full of berries and a yummy lunch from Culvers with their Grandma and cousins and 6 pounds of berries to share.  It was a WIN for us all, I'd say.  Our girls love this annual tradition of berry picking!

++Thank you God for time spent with Grandmas and cousins and for all the yummy fresh  blueberries!!++

Some berry fun berry picking!!

"One berry 

Two berry

Pick me a blueberry"

"Finger and pawberry

My berry, your berry"

"Mountains and fountains

Rain down on me

Buried in berries

What a jam jamboree!"

On Saturday, Melody went berry picking with one of her grandma's and a sweet cousin her age, as well.  They have done it for a couple years now and love that special time together.  And how wonderful that we get "buried in berries" and have "mountains and fountains" to wash, freeze and eat for many weeks and months to come....  smoothies, blueberry pancakes, blueberry sweet bread, blueberry french toast bake, blueberry muffins, blueberries on our morning oatmeal!!   Yummy yum!!  

Jamberry was one of those first books that we read to Fone when he was a baby.  It has become a favorite in our house with all our young'uns.  Most of us can quote the little rhymes, we have read it or heard it read that much!!
