Strawberries!


It's strawberry pickin' time!






The kids and I went to the farm this morning to pick strawberries. With all the rain we've had, the berries aren't as plentiful or as big this year, but they still have plenty of flavor! We had a difficult time finding many in our first couple rows, but we requested a different set of rows and did much better.


Of course, part of our problem may have been that Tyler was eating everything he picked!! I thought the stem trail was kind of funny....although he wasted a lot more than just the stems. Oh well. That's all part of the experience, and he enjoyed himself.


















It got hot quickly, so after awhile the kids went and sat in the shade while I finished filling one of our buckets. We enjoyed slushies on the front porch when we were done, and the kids snacked on fresh strawberries the rest of the afternoon.

Nice, strawberries are long gone down here, we're on to mangos now.

I don't think we have a mango season. :)
