Blueberry Picking

We went blueberry picking a couple of weeks ago at our regular spot, Bybee Farms, in North Bend, WA. Avery was a much better picker than the previous year. Kieron, who doesn’t like blueberries, stayed occupied in the jogger with snacks as long as they lasted. After that, we let him out to roam a little, and he wandered among the bushes collecting dandelions. In the end, we picked about six pounds of berries, not bad with our little monsters in tow.



“Personally, I prefer dandelions over blueberries.”

Adventures Blueberry Picking

At the end of July we returned to Bybee Farms in North Bend for a second season of blueberry picking. The farm is beautiful, tucked right at the base of Mount Si. Avery was excited to go, and we thought that with another year under his belt, he would make a fine blueberry picker. But after picking and eating about 20 blueberries, he declared that he was tired and wanted trail mix. So he spent the majority of the time camped in a fold-up canvas chair while Mommy and Daddy got the goods. We had a great time anyway, and still have ten pounds of blueberries in the freezer.







Kieron did his part to help us gather lots of berries. He slept in the stroller the entire time. We didn’t get any pictures of him that afternoon, but here are a few from earlier in the day.

Blueberry Picking

On Sunday we went to a u-pick blueberry farm in North Bend. It had to be one of the funnest outings we’ve ever had with Avery. We gave Avery a bucket and showed him where the blueberries were. He started plucking them off and eating them, and then he’d put a few in the bucket, and then he’d eat the ones in the bucket. I don’t think his bucket ever had more than a few berries in it at a time. Luckily Mommy and I made up for Avery’s snacking and we managed to collect about three pounds. I think we might go back next weekend for more.
