blueberry picking

We drove up Conroe to pick blueberries! It was so much more enjoyable than picking strawberries...for several reasons. First, there was little bending down. Blueberry bushes are tall! In fact, I was on my tippy-toes much of the time while Bella was perfectly content gathering berries on her level. Second, there was shade. It would have been better if we went earlier than 10 am, but it wasn't bad. Third, the place was really laid back. "Here's a bucket, go pick where the flags are." We could also bring Bella's car (stroller) and we could have even brought Penny if we wanted to. Last, it was cheap! $2 a pound...and a pound is a lot of berries! We recommend Moorhead's Blueberry Farm!

Sounds like fun - the bluberries here are on bushes, so some bending is required!
