The girls earned 1 free pound of U-pick Blueberries through their summer library reading program and Allison had been asking to use her coupon ever since she got it. I finally decided we'd try on Saturday morning while leaving Mark at home to work on painting. It worked out better than I expected. We only picked for about 45 minutes. Heidi held her bucket but stood in front of the bushes and ate every ripe blueberry she could get her hands on (thankfully she generally left the green ones alone). Every so often she'd put one in her bucket and then immediately take it out and eat it. Then a very kind gentlemen noticed her and her empty bucket and put a handful in it....you can imagine where this is going, right? That is when she figured out what the buckets were for and became obsessed with mine! We wrapped up shortly after :)
Allison did a great job picking and nearly picked a full pound herself. I only used her coupon - I figured Heidi ate her free pound while we were picking :)
