Blueberry Heaven

"This is blueberry heaven!"

That's what Harrison kept saying as we walked through the aisles of blueberry bushes at the Bybee Farms U-Pick patch yesterday.

This was our second time coming to the farm with Gram to pick the juicy fruit. A couple years ago when we visited, the berries were so ripe, juicy, and plentiful that we didn't even have to walk up the rows to hunt for big clusters of berries. I think we stayed in one place the whole time and filled our buckets (at least the adults did, anyway). This year we must have arrived a little late in the season. The berries were still delicious, but not quite as plentiful.


The location is absolutely perfect. It is up in the mountains, just at the foot of Mt. Si.

We came home and had blueberry banana pancakes for dinner and for breakfast today the children enjoyed blueberries on their cereal. I'm hunting for more great blueberry recipes if anyone has some they want to share.

Great close-up of the blueberries! Looks like McKinley isn't hindering the family adventures. In the last photo Jack really, really looks like a 5-year-old Tim!
Love,
Grammy
