Blueberry Picking
Not far from where Brian's family lives, is a wonderful place called Butler's Orchard, where you can go out on their property and harvest your produce at a greatly reduced cost. Since Brian's favorite fruit is blueberries we decided to go out and pick those.
Everyone's got their own style of picking blueberries.
We picked a ton of blueberries
And good times were had by all
After you pick the blueberries you bring them into the store where they are weighed and paid for. In the store they also had a slushy machine that had two flavors of slushy lemonade. Both flavors were delicious
Archery Games
Besides picking blueberries until our fingers turned purple, we also played a few rounds of milk jug archery.
For those of you unfamiliar with milk jug archery here's how you play.
- Fill two empty milk jugs with equal amounts of water.
- Tie these full milk jugs on either side of a rope on a pulley
- Shot arrows into your milk jug and hope that you jug drains faster than your opponent's jug
- Whomever's jug hits the ground looses
Everyone taking a few warm up shots before the game.

It's always fun to visit the Maryland house!
PS sorry for the poor quality of the videos that was the best I could upload under our current internet conditions.
