Blueberry picking

Well it has been a crazy last couple of weeks.  Alden, Leigh, and I headed down to Alabama for our summer trip to Gram and Granddaddy's.  We were there for a little over a week and enjoyed every minute of it.  We went with Mom and had a wonderful time.  We played with Bama (the dog), and Zoe (the cat) and saw lots of other animals, feed the goats, and swam and swam some more.  This year we were joined by Mercedes, Lucy, and Cole.  It was so fun to have constant playmates and we loved showing them one of our favorite places.  Alden and Lucy loved to run together, but they also fought pretty good too.  Surprisingly Cole and Leigh got along great and always wanted to play together and tried to keep up with the others.  I enjoyed hanging out Mercedes and have missed having them so close.  We might have to make getting together with them a more regular thing.  After Alabama, we brought them back to Anderson for about five days and showed them some of our favorite things to do around here.  The next several posts will be from our outings in June.

Before Mercedes and the kids flew in, we went to pick blueberries.  We know a great place near Gram and Granddaddy's house that have amazing blueberries for a really good deal.  I was able to make a few batches of blueberry jam, and freeze a ton as well to use throughout the year.  Stocking up on blueberries is always a must every summer.  We sure enjoy those blueberry cobblers in January!
