Blueberry Surprise Pie

While I was out shopping for Father's Day lobsters I noticed that the blueberries were finally at a reasonable price so I figured why not make a blueberry pie for Father's Day dessert. Then still on a quest for Kris' lobster dinner I ended up buying blackberries and raspberries that were on sale..now thinking about another dessert berry parfaits. I got all the berries home and rinsed off to start making the blueberry pie and berry parfaits. I mixed up the filling for the pie than rolled out the crusts..after I added the filling to the bottom pie shell I decided that I didn't need all the blackberries ad raspberries so I threw some of both berries on top of the blueberry filling... now it was a blueberry surprise pie! We haven't eaten it yet, waiting for company...but it looks good! I can't wait to dig in!
