I thought one of the coolest things we did when we went to MI was pick berries. I really enjoyed watching Johnny ration the berries one in the mouth and one in the bucket. Ever since th
en we have found a couple places locally to pick strawberries and I just found out about this cute place, The Briar Patch, that is only miles away from the house. So we went this weekend and what a great find. There were apples, berries, beans, tomatoes, figs - just about everything you can pick they have it. We grabbed a bucket and started picking blueberries, a favorite in our house. The mistake I made was doing this on the hottest morning of the year. My gosh I was glistening after ten minuets and Johnny had beads of sweat running down his face but we were determined to leave with something
. So I picked and Johnny went from bush to bush eating what was at his level. After about 20 min I came to the realization that a gallon of blueberries was not going to happen seeing as how we barley had enough to cover the bottom of the bucket and my glisten had turned into sweat - yuck. I gave both of us a little motivation of a fresh blueberry milkshake when we finished and that was enough, we picked a little faster and Johnny ate a little less. Once the bucket was about 1/2 full and we were both drenched we called it a day. All those blueberries and it only cost 4.00!!! I cant wait for this heat to break and go back to take advantage of all the fruit and vegetables they have there. And let me tell you it was the best milkshake I have ever had!
