Back in Stillwater for Some Berry Picking and Swimming

Since we'd actually be home this weekend it seemed like a good time to go berry picking. Usually we go at the end of July but with the hot, dry summer it was already nearing the end of the season. Our usual place The Berry Patch was already closed for the season. Luckily I found Blueberry Fields of Stillwater who had a few days left.  I also had to get a drone shot for Discover Stillwater. When we got out there I instantly noticed the haze. It's been the summer of fires to the west and the north. So, we get these lovely false overcast days. Honestly, I kind of liked this place better. They keep the plants covered to avoid bugs so the bushes have tons of berries. We stayed at the same bush the entire time we picked. And bonus they let you use stools. I prefer picking apples or evens strawberries, but nothing is better than fresh blueberries even if picking them is a pain.

A Stormy, Tiny Road Trip to the St. Croix and a Day Trip to Duluth

 Scott had to meet a client in Stillwater and then we had plans to go camping afterwards. He dropped us off at the Teddy Bear Park. I love the ancient smart phone pics. I like that the park was built right next to the bluffs. Part of the park had chairs and stairs built in for the kids to climb.
