Camping, Storms & Blueberries

We are camping again, this time with our friends the Hinspeters in South Haven.  We're at a KOA where they have full hook up ~ Yay.  So you can run the water all you want and "potty" to your heart's content.  My niece Karen would appreciate that.  Woke up to a nice thunderstorm about 7 am Sat. morning.   It is Blueberry season, so thus the Blueberry Festival.  You can pick blueberries everywhere and even right here at the campground.  We picked 5 lbs on Friday at a "U Pick" farm.  A buck and a quarter a lb.  They're quite tasty too.  I'm going to freeze them.

 We had blueberry pancakes at the campground sponsored breakfast on Saturday.  We also went to a vineyard and did a little wine tasting.  Bought one bottle of a white wine that was quite tasty.  Then we went to a Chocolate store called the Chocolate Garden.  Apparently it's famous and rated in America's top chocolates and has been featured on the Cooking Network channel.  Someone I know is getting a tasty, yummy treat from there!  Then a storm blew up so we headed back to the campground.  Upon arrival we saw tents and other things that had been blown around or blown over.  I'm kinda glad we were in town. 
Today's events may include going back to the Blueberry festival in town and picking peaches and perhaps raspberries or blackberries.
