The title was a play on the line, "Violet, you're turning violet!" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, in case you missed it... She was turning into a big blueberry. Noah almost turned into a big blueberry today, too!
We went blueberry picking! He had quite a good time. The cry of "Booberries!" could be heard throughout the farm. Everywhere he turned, there was just more and more of the delicious fruit.
Everyone helped him pick 'em. And he was good at it, too. He was even able to avoid picking the green ones and only get the blue ones.
He focused... worked hard... heck, if farms can hire illegal immigrants, they should be able to hire 21 month old boys, too, right? It's about time he starts paying his way around here.
His one downfall, though, is remembering where the blueberries go once picked. Sometimes they ended up in the buckets... sometimes they ended up in his tummy. Or maybe that was just his quality control measure. Maybe it's a good thing in a worker...
Sometimes his quality control went a little too far, as he tried to occasionally eat the berries directly off the bushes... He was eager, though. You've gotta give him credit there!
What a fun weekend activity! Beautiful place... fun thing to do... fun people to hang out with... what could be better?
And 14 pounds of berries later, we were on our way...
