Temecula Berry Patch

Last Sunday, Lauren and I took the kids to Temecula (about 20 miles north of us) to pick blueberries. When we went blueberry picking in North Carolina two years ago, it was a cool day and the blueberry patch was nice and shady.  Not this time!  The sun was beating down and there was definitely no shade to be seen.  Still, I think Dan and Ben could have stayed out there for a couple of hours.  They loved discovering the biggest and bluest blueberries, hidden in the leaves.  Hannah was not so thrilled, probably because she was stuck in her stroller most of the time.

We ended up with 3 1/2 pints of blueberries and Lauren made a delicious rustic blueberry pie that night.  The berries were really good, very sweet and juicy.  It was a successful day of picking!
