Last week, on the most humid day of the year thus far, we headed up to the local blueberry patch. I’ve been looking forward to this activity for a couple of months now, and I was so excited that the fruit was finally ripe and ready for picking. Each of our girls carried their own bucket and received instructions from the farm owner on how to gently pull blueberries from the bushes. The berries were sweet and juicy, so there was a lot of taste-testing straight from the bush. The lighting up on this hill during the golden hour was pretty much a photographer’s dream. It was a little slice of heaven on earth, so I took as many pictures as my kids would allow. I love their berry-tasting faces. Picking berries was serious business for Kaelyn… although she mostly ended up with tiny green ones in her bucket. She gets credit for all of her time and effort.When she wasn’t pulling green ones off the bush, she was doing this…
I love those little cheeks. Michael probably picked most of our gallon-sized haul on his own… obviously, since I was too busy taking pictures, and Kaelyn was too busy snacking on fruit. Kaya probably filled one quarter of her bucket, which I think is impressive for a 3-year old. She was definitely focused on her job.Kitty had to come with us, and ended up riding along in Daddy’s pocket. I love this sweet, spunky little girl. Watching my family find joy in something so simple fills my heart to the brim. These little moments are the ones that will stay with me forever. Seriously… how adorable are they?Don’t worry, there’s an equal amount of crazy to go with that adorableness…
Summertime and these simple outings are some of my favorites.
