Sherman Lake camp and Blueberries

Last week, Lillie attended a day camp at the Sherman Lake YMCA camp ground. She had a lot of fun. During the 5 days of camp, she swam, Kayaked, climbed the rock wall, did archery, played camp games, and had lots of fun. Thursday night was family night. Lillie got to show us around camp and we tried a few things like the archery and rock wall. 

While Lillie was a camp, Sophie and I picked blueberries one morning. We went with some friends and Lillie was disappointed that we went without her. We picked 7 pounds in less than an hour. I had enough for 2 batches of jam and Lillie and Sophie ate the rest. Sophie probably ate more than what she put in the bucket, but she picked the entire time that we were there.

Blueberries Picking

Yesterday, we picked blueberries for the first time.  It was hot, so we only picked for 45 minutes.  They were a lot easier to pick than strawberries. I picked 5 pounds.  Lillie picked 2 pounds.

Sophie picked 1/4 pound and

 probably ate about a 1/2 pound.

 She even tried to put some on a stick, like a marshmallow.

We watched the blueberry picking machine.

 We came home with lots of yummy blueberries to freeze, eat, make jam and muffins with.
