Madeline took Isaac on his first blueberry picking experience on Saturday. Let me just tell you that blueberry picking is way better than strawberry picking because you don't have to stand on your head to do it!! Blueberries grow on bushes - they need to make strawberries like that (get to work Uncle Mark our horticulture man)!! Anyways, we went to Bunn, NC to Vollmer Farm to go blueberry picking. Isaac did a great job of picking only the blue berries and placing them nicely into the bucket (only sampling occasionally), unlike cousin Madeline who seemed to be a human blueberry vacuum eating every berry...blue, red, or green...in sight! We had to stop using poor Madeline's bucket so she wouldn't get sick!! :)
You talking to us? No, we haven't seen anyone eating any blueberries!
It was a very hot day, and once the buckets were full Isaac seemed to be on a mission for the water cooler.
Vollmer Farm also had blackberries ready to pick. Isaac and Madeline were not near as fond of the tart blackberries as they were the sweet blueberries!
It's too hot for shirts on the farm!!
After the hard work of the harvest, we headed back to the barn for some fun. There was a nice plastic cow for milking. Both kids enjoyed this because there was water involved and they were able to get wet. Let's hope they don't ever try this with a real cow!
Then it was time for a flight around the farm in an old plane. I think they would have stayed in here forever!
We all had a great time at Vollmer Farm, and it was a great way to start off a day packed full of activities!!
