{Giveaway} Learning Resources Science Sets

July 14, 2011

Today is all about Michigan Blueberries!  44 POUNDS of blueberries.

I traveled with the adorables over to my old stomping grounds in Southwest Michigan, just outside of Kalamazoo.

Mind you, I didn’t plan on buying 44 POUNDS of blueberries.  I started with 3 10-pound boxes.   We eat them fast, and it starts to make me nervous when we hit our last 10 pounder.

But then the adorables wanted to pick blueberries too.

Little clumps of yummy right there.

2 buckets and me filling them up as fast as they can eat my efforts.

If only I had Go-Go Gadget arms.

This adorable is one pooped pup and there’s nothing better than fresh, warmed by the sun blueberries.

P.S. I found this hat somewhere so if it is yours, alert me.  I’ve been trying to find its owner.

A bumper crop this year!

So 3 10-pound boxes and 2 7-pound buckets bring us to 44 pounds.

See?? Not so crazy.

If you could taste their sweet perfection, you would totally understand.

But I think I see our future as Blueberries for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

For Today’s Giveaway, your little adorable is going to love it!

Meet both the Big View Bug Jars:

These bug jars are awesome!  You catch the bug, and pop open the ladybug top to find a magnifying glass for easy viewing.

And the Early Explorer’s Science Set:

This is a stand-up magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers that are perfect for chubby little toddler fingers.

My adorables have loved both of these sets.  You won’t believe all the yard has to offer!

    Heidi – I understand. One year I took six kids strawberry picking. I don’t remember the exact # of pounds, but my goodness it was a lot. Looks like you guys had a GREAT time.

    We love picking blueberries. We still have a few weeks here before they are ready. We pick them to freeze for the year. It’s never enough though.

    Holy cow! We went picking today also but only 2 pints. But also some lovely peaches. And the bug jars are cute. Perfect for our firefly hunts.

    I love that you are telling about your Michigan trip. We just spent a month there. I actually went to college in Kalamazoo. I love the science kits.
