Berry Delicious

A member of our church invited us over to pick blue berries on his property. Grace and I love blue berries and were so excited. It was as much fun as I expected, possibly more, as blue berry bushes don't have stickers and you don't get dirty doing it. Well, unless you get board when your dad is talking to the host, like Grace did, and sit on the ground and throw dirt on your lap. But dirt on clothes is pretty much an every day occurrence at our house, so I hardly noticed. :)

Grace and Gunnar worked on a bag together. When we got there Grace had gum in her mouth and so she was doing a good job of picking, not eating the berries. A little while into it, however, she lost the gum, and from then on more berries made it mouth than the bag. :)

In case you are wondering what blue berries look like in the wild, now you know. This was actually a pretty bad example, because it looks like that front berry has met up with a bird. Unfortunately, it is the only one I took a picture of. You get the basic idea, nontheless.Some of these berries were seriously huge! Gunnar's wedding band, isn't thin, and as you can see, the berry was way bigger.
Grace and I held up one of the two bags that we got. That would be my 30 week (or 7.5 month) belly there.
I love my girl!!
Here is a look at our plunder. I am going to attempt to make a blue berry pie, so we will see how that goes. I have never had enough blue berries to try it before!
They are as good as they look!
