blueberry pickin'

Today, we created a new tradition for our family. We took Hudson to Wades Fruit Farm in Paris, OH to pick-our-own BLUEBERRIES. For awhile now, we’ve wanted to take him out and do something fun with him – something special just for him. Hudson absolutely loves blueberries and when we heard they were “in season” we knew it would be the perfect trip. “Mimi” Snavely watched Greyson for a few hours and we ventured up to the farm. He loved it (to say the least)! He was in heaven! – Not only were there fields and fields of blueberries, there were TRACTORS! He spotted those before we even got to the blueberry hedges. The whole time, he ran around with a bucket and pulled blueberries right off the bushes…and of course, he’d pop a few directly into his mouth at every bush, too (the nice farmer gave him permission)! He also thought it was hilarious to steal them out of our buckets when we were bent down picking! J The weather was gorgeous and we had a picnic in the back of our car at the end of it all! What fun we had!!! Overall, we picked almost 8 pounds of blueberries! This will certainly be something that we’ll do every year from now on with our boys! Next year, Greyson will be able to get in on the action, too!
