Blueberry Love

We visited the local blueberry picking farm the other day. I highly suggest this activity if you have one near you. Not only do you get a quick, fun, learning experience for the kids, but you get great, healthy food to make a plethora of recipes from.

Blue Harvest Farms uses no pesticides so you can eat RIGHT off the bush! How cool is that!?? Located in Covington, LA off Hwy 21, it's a reasonably priced activity for all. At 10.00 a gallon or 2.00 a pound, it's far cheaper, even with gas, than the 4.00 a pint (or more) price for blueberries in the store. And you picked these yourself, it sounds like work, but it's fun!

Check out Blue Harvest Farms site and Facebook page for details on hours and tips.

Here's our little bit of fun while visiting...

Pinterst Planned Summer

You all know I'm addicted to Pinterest. Well since summer is coming up I am hoping to do some fun things I've found on Pinterest. Since I'm also currently selling my home, I have to pick through things that will be quick and easy to clean up should I get that phone call that says, "someone wants to look at the house, we'll be there in 30!"

So here's what's possibly on the agenda. Note the POSSIBLY.

~~~~~~http://cuegly.blogspot.com/2011/09/75-kid-activities.html~~~~~

*Glow sticks in the bathtub

*Balloon tennis

*Plastic sheet cover your homework sheets=dry erase.

*Make an obstacle coarse with crape paper streamers. They crawl and step over all of it while trying not to touch the streamers.

*Go Dollar Store shopping. Give them each 5 bucks and they're in heaven.

*Tear drop volcanoes. Put baking soda on a tray. Fill paper cups with vinegar and food color. Use a dropper to create fizzy foam!

~~~~~~From my head~~~~

*Join the summer library reading program.

*Go swimming.

*Have Pajama Day, complete with blankets, pillows, a movie.

*Have a lemonade and freezie pop stand.

*Discounted movie trips

*Visit the little local beaches on the lake.

*Sculpt with air dry clay

*Make rainbows and suns from paper plates and tissue paper (or crepe paper)

*Visit Culinary Kids

* Eat LOTS of snowballs!

I've already gotten a little Google calender almost filled out through July! I'm looking forward to having some fun with my boys. Since not one person has looked at our home since it's been on market, I'm not sweating it. We're going to have fun, enjoy the summer and they'll have to realize little people live here!!!

Happy Summer!!~~Amy
