How did our Summer Adventure start? With BLUEBERRIES... this is truly a bear family so we had to head on over to the local blueberry farm and fill our stores as soon as summer vacation started! Daddy Bear went to see the Sons of Guns guys and so Mama and the cubs went to Pop's Blueberry Patch!
Step One: Pack up kids, caps, sunblock, and a backpack carrier for Sister Bear and head over to the farm to learn the rules for pick-your-own.
Step Two: Grab our bucket and get to picking... Laugh, giggle, pick dark blue plump berries and put in bucket or pick dark blue plump berries and put in your mouth (I think they ate a quart or more before our bucket got full!), notice the variety of people also out picking and have an absolutely wonderful life lesson discussion about differences in color, language, and abilities. Then at the prompting of the brother, say a prayer for the people who can't pick their own blueberries cause they are missing out! Life is GREAT!
Step Three: Once our bucket was full, we headed to the shed to pack up our berries and head home, tummies full of berries and souls full of sunshine and joy! I LOVED this part, the cubs happy and helping one another!
Step four: Head home to put away our goods and lay Sister down for a nap. A great start to our Summer Adventure! Now we have berries to savor all summer! They love those little boogers straight from the freezer on a hot day and so do I!
