Blueberry Almond Breakfast Bites

September 6, 2011 By Julie 14 Comments

I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Our family made the decision to pack into the car and venture out to the Smoky Mountains to spend the holiday camping; a Griswold family vacation at it’s finest.  We originally intended to stay through Monday, but tropical storm Lee had other plans.  We debated sticking it out but in the end, the thought of trying to pack up camp in the pouring rain with three wet children in tow didn’t bode well for our sanity, so we headed home a day early.  Despite the unplanned departure, we had a swimmingly good time with the days we did have and I think the boys really enjoyed this final sendoff to summer.
