Summertime in Pennsylvania means being barefoot on a tire swing at dusk and picking fresh blueberries in the morning.
We were bummed that the fields were closed on Tuesday when we tried to go with Tabatha & Kooper, so we decided to try our luck again this morning.
The entire half hour drive over there Nicholas threw a giant temper tantrum because he wanted to go to the Y instead, but I had promised Abby we would try picking berries again on Thursday, so I sucked it up, strapped the on baby, and hiked through the fields with them.
Nick got over it eventually and wound up having a good time. We were probably only there for 30 minutes or so, but we managed to fill our bowl and avoid any major melt downs.
We were able to pick a little over 5 pints for $9, or about $1.75 per pint. Way cheaper than the grocery store.I froze most of them to use throughout the year, but we kept some out for snacking.
They go so well with cold left over pizza. I guess I should go make muffins or something.
