Cool Mom and Blueberries

What do those two things have to do with each other you may ask?

Well, yesterday we went blueberry picking.  It is an annual thing.  I think we have gone almost every year for the last 5 or so years.  I know I have taken Boop in a stroller.  And I have some vague recollection of picking berries pregnant.  But, I just can't remember who I was pregnant with.

Anyway, yesterday was the first time daddy ever went and we had fun.  We picked a TON of blueberries in 45 minutes!  Three gallons full of big, fat, sweet, juicy berries.  Little Mama and I each picked about a gallon.

After we chatted with the blueberry man we went down to the river to play in the water and swing on the rope.

Everyone was a little hesitant because the water was cold.  But, it was so clear.  We could see all kind of fish and a turtle.  There were a bunch of different birds and one that had a very distinct call but we could never figure out what it was.

Finally, with daddy leading the way, everyone jumped in off the rope.  Including me.  I wasn't planning on it but the kids asked and I figured what the heck.  I ain't getting any younger and we only live once.

For one morning, I was the cool mom . . .

(Yup, that's me.)
