Violet, You're Turning Violet, Violet!

Chris and I spent last week on vacation with the kids. We went to the blueberry farm a couple of years ago, and the kids had been asking about going again. We went Saturday morning and picked almost 17 pounds of berries.

While we were picking, I found a tiny bird's nest with an egg tucked into one of the bushes. Guin was very excited and took a picture with her phone. After they had filled their buckets, the kids ran off to the play area and played in the giant bales of hay and on the tower fort. They didn't want to leave even though we were going to Worlds of Fun later.

Chris and I paid for the berries and also bought two bushes to add to our garden. Eventually, we hope to grow berries all season long. The kids ate so many berries that Chris and I will probably have to go back in a few weeks. We had blueberry waffles with homemade blueberry syrup. For dinner we had fruit salad with blueberries and blueberry pie for dessert. We're all bound to turn into blueberries.
