So, remember how we went blueberry picking last weekend? Well we picked 11 pounds of those beauties!
Little miss Ellie is showing off our loot:
There is something so fun about picking your own fruit. I think watching the kids gorge themselves on blueberries while they pick is definitely a highlight of picking them! Picking blueberries is something we've done as a family for 3 years now. We also love raspberry and apple farms. If you are wondering about farms in your area, the pickyourown website may be a good start for locating the kinds of things you like.
Seriously, look at these huge blueberries! You can't find this goodness at the store! Oh, and a bonus: often picking your own means it costs less than the store too. Our 11 pounds of blueberries were about $18.
One of our favorite summer drinks is Blueberry Lemonade!
If you want to try this yummy {little project} here's the how-to:
1- Start with 3 cups of lemonade in (in your blender)
2- Add 3 cups of ice cubes
3- Add as much fruit as you can fit in your blender (a cup or two)
Blend it well and you get the summer tastiness of Blueberry Lemonade!
It's not been even a week and that 11 pounds of blueberries is gone. It's been so hot and we've had a lot of Blueberry lemonade-and blueberry everything else! Oh, and the blueberries are also perfect with my favorite granola (recipe here).
I guess we're going to have to fit some more blueberry picking into hanging out at the beach this weekend...
