We started off the 4th with a heavy dose of the blue and headed out to meet Kirsten, Brad, and Xander at Crows Nest U-Pick farm for some recreational blueberry picking followed by a massive gorging of blueberry buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup for brunch.
It was a ton of fun, mostly because the bushes are so laden with fruit, that we picked for an hour and came home with two and a half gallons! That doesn't even count what Kirsten and Brad picked.
The kids had fun, the berries were at their level, although Xander specialized the 'tummy storage method.'
Brad had a hard time leaving, he just felt compelled to 'pick one more.'
Of course, home for pancakes.
Later we met back up for the concert in the park with fireworks. We had a lovely picnic dinner. Followed by an exciting second desert of kettle corn.
The kids were not impressed with the fireworks - way to loud (and it was 10pm!) but the adults were impressed with the town fireworks - they lasted almost 30 minutes.
