Yesterday we picked blueberries at a Pick-Your-Own-Farm. Hunter did a great job filling his basket and even Denver, who hates blueberries, picked quite a few. Noah, on the other hand, hid himself in the blueberry bushes filling his mouth as full as he possibly could with the big, blue berries. He even tried stealing a few handfuls from our baskets--maybe we should have named him "Sal." Anyway, we left with about 12 pounds of blueberries which will hopefully be enough to make us some blueberry pie and syrup and leave enough for frozen blueberry marbles which we use through the winter for fruit and yogurt parfaits and fruit salads.
Afterwards we had Sourabh (a friend of Mark's) come to lunch with his new bride, Swagota. They were tons of fun to chat with and Hunter was especially sad to see Sourabh leave. They always end up having so much fun together. Then Mark finished putting together our new chicken coop (I guess the girls get to stay) and I mowed the lawn while the boys played in the pool and rode their bikes and played with some assorted sticks and rocks and dirt. Then Kak-Kak came over and took Hunter and Noah to see "Willy Wonka" while Mark and I ran a few last errands with Denver before Sunday arrived. Then it was quick haircuts for the crew, a dunk in the bath and off to bed. A great day, all in all.
