Year 7! I'm so happy that Bri and I have been able to continue our tradition of visiting a blueberry patch in July. And I'm even happier that Kathy and Chani could join us once again!
Here are our previous years...
We all got to the patch pretty early this year. I like getting there before the day really heats up.
Kathy and I had to get a cute picture of our adorable girls before we got started...
When we arrived, the sign that was posted said that the berry picking was "just ok." And they were right. There were some slim pickings on the trees this year. There were a lot of berries - they just weren't ripe. They probably needed to close the patch for a few days and let the berries ripen. I'm glad they didn't close though because Wednesday was really the most convenient day for me to go, so we made the best of it.
Rows of trees...
The girls started to search...
Silly gal...
As you can see, some were blue and some were not so blue...
There's quite a few unripe berries here...
Finally - some blue blueberries...
Two sweet friends...

We were out in the field for about an hour. Bri and I managed to get about a 4th of a bucket of berries and Kathy and Chani did a bit better. It's always fun watching the girls walk around the field - chatting and giggling.
They are so cute...
The girls played on the little playground for a while...
They hopped on the tractor...
They also picked flowers in the grassy area...
I love this tradition so much - even when we don't come home with a ton of berries. It just doesn't feel like summer if we don't hit the blueberry patch!!
