Blueberry Pickin'

It's blueberry season so we decided to go pick some for ourselves. It was very hot and humid even at 9 am, so the kids were a little cranky. Lisa and I really started getting into it towards the end. We found that the branches near the top of the bushes were packed with big, juicy blueberries, so we used team work to pull down the branches and grab the best blueberries. The poor kids were ready to go about 15 minutes into it, but Lisa and I just couldn't stop. We would be heading back and we would spot a bush with bunches of blueberries. We kept making the kids stop so we could pick and the whining started all over. We picked 3 pounds of blueberries and it only cost $5.50. We could of picked twice that if it were just Lisa and I, oh well :-)

It's kind of hard to see here, but Jonas was soaked in sweat.
He sweats like no other. It looked like I dunked his head in a tub of water.
