Blueberry Picking

October 17th, 2010
We went wild blueberry picking with our friends up on Signal Hill. We had a good time and the view was amazing. The actual bushes were a lot shorter and smaller than I expected. They were only 6 inches off the ground if that.
To explain the piece of Kleenex on Cooper's forehead. He had a scab from a previous injury and according to Kent it was falling off so he pulled it off. As a result it bled like crazy and it wouldn't stop. So we put a bit of Kleenex on it to hopefully stop the bleeding.

Sporting his cool Kleenex look!


I love these boys. I am a lucky woman.

A panoramic of where we were with Signal hill in the background. NL is beautiful. Very unique but yet a lot like the Alberta mountains. All I need is a sandy beach and warm water to have it all!


One of the biggest blueberries we found. They were small but very tasty.

Looking the other direction toward the city of St. John's.


Hanging upside down. One of Cooper's favorite things to do.


The actual picking of the blueberries complete with our bums up in the air!

  1. Cool Panoramic views. I am enjoying the pics of where you live. Colby STILL HAS NOT (how can you tell that's an issue with me...lol) has not sent us ANY photos off his camera yet of his mission area there. I think it's very cool that you ended up in the same area as he. Who would of thought back in the day, eh?

    P.S. Cute pic of Cooper with the little tissue on his face. It's a sneak peak into his near future when the shaving days come. HA HA.

  2. thanks for sharing...looks like a lot of fun! Ashlynn and I did a lot of wild strawberry and raspberry picking on our hikes this summer. We would be all over that! Is it just this time of year that the berries are ripe? We are still saving up for our trip to some visit you.
    Happy Thanksgiving and lots of love from us all!
