I Found My Thrill

Through Sandy’s Mothers of Multiples’ group, we have enjoyed many new activities. Our most recent adventure was blueberries picking. The patch was covered with heavy netting to ward off hungry birds. It was fun watching the boys pick the berries, each with a technique indicative of their personalities. Benji picked one berry at a time slowly and methodically. He didn’t move around much, preferring to focus on completing a bush before advancing. By contrast, Trey Davey’s method was to grab the inside of a branch, then pull it through his fingers stripping off the berries and leaves. Most of it fell into his bucket, and some of it was edible. Sandy later picked out the leaves, stems and crushed berries. She served us the fruits of our labors over the next week’s deserts.
