Michigan

My family and I traveled to Michigan to pick some fruit yesterday. Other than my brother acting possessed throughout the whole trip, it was a pretty nice experience.

However, our stats were kind of frustrating. We picked 42 lbs of blueberries in three hours and 60 lbs of peaches in less than twenty minutes. Oh the unfairness of it all! Three hours and and only forty pounds. Now, I understand the size difference and weight difference of one peach compared to one blueberry, but still. In less than twenty minutes we had 60 freaking pounds of peaches. If we would have spent three hours also on peaches, we would have picked 540 lbs. 

Anyways, to cut to the chase, with a crew of six people (two of these people really didn't work, so technically, we had a working crew of four) I had hoped for more blueberries. But that's okay, there's always next year. Really, I should just be glad we had any blueberries to take home at the end of the day because earlier my siblings had been chanting for an eating contest. If their plans had been put into action, the only blueberries our house would have see would've been digested ones.

I took some pictures of both places we went to pick fruit, but I'm only going to show you a picture from the blueberry place, so enjoy!


This is my almost full (except it's not) bucket of hard earned blueberries that I totally picked all by myself.
