Blueberries!

My favorite berries to eat above any other's are strawberries and blueberries.We went strawberry picking in June and they were delicious but the season always seems to end too quickly. I have been nervous that blueberry season would pass me by before I would have a chance to go picking, so last Thursday the boys and I headed out on our blueberry picking adventure.

We visited my favorite farm.

Jack kept thanking me for bringing them picking that day because the blueberries were sooooo sweet.

 Nothing but blueberry bushes for acres!

 With three boys and myself picking we ended up with 6 pounds that day!

One for me, one for the container!

Luke didn't even like blueberries until that day.

On the breakfast menu the next day were Kashi waffles with fresh blueberries on top.

Tomorrow I will post what I have made so far with 6 pounds of blueberries!

Checking our List!

Before school came to an end this year I had the boys share with me what they wanted to do this summer. I then made a list of those things (I love lists!). On the days when we have nothing scheduled we consult our "Summer" list and then go do one of the items.

You can see we are moving through the list pretty quickly. Thank goodness there is a list on the back as well.

Friday my boys spent some time visiting their cousins and swimming in the pool. Bonus, I had a great visit with my sister-in-law too. That night the boys experienced their first Drive-In movie ever! Here they are all piled in the SUV.

We watched this beautiful hot air balloon while we were waiting for it too get dark.

There are only around 400 Drive-In movies left in the U.S. I am so glad my boys were able to have this experience.

 We were able to watch all of Ice Age Continental Drift and about 15 min. of Madagascar because we still had a 1 1/2 hr. trip home!

 I wish I had taken a picture of my very sleepy boys in the car!
