Walker Blueberry Farm

Today, we splendidly enjoyed ourselves over at Walker Farms in Ravenna, TX. It took us about 45 minutes to drive there but definitely worth the drive. It was sweltering hot but we all wanted to pick our own blueberries. The kids started off so excited with a bucket in hand. Rachel had a bucket too. Nathan was extremely picky and looked for the sweetest, plump berries.

The farm is gorgeous and they make it very easy for the pickers. All of the people were friendly. We picked 1 1/2 gallons of small but sweet blueberries and couldn't have been more pleased!

Allan and Joshua went strong to the end and picked the most berries. One of the highlights of the trip for the kids was seeing a vulture eating a dead armadillo at the roadside.

After the hard work, we headed to QT for slurpees. Now it is time to start cooking. I can't wait to eat a blueberry pie and muffins.

They are the cutest blueberry pickers I've ever seen. Love those blueberries - and Lori's cooking with them.
