Strawberries!

Today we finally made it to the strawberry patch. Other than being muddy, which we anticipated, the weather was perfect - overcast and a little cool. Strawberries have been in for a little while, so it wasn't too crowded. Our biggest problem was avoiding the berries that had started to over-ripen.

We picked a little over 10# of berries. Holding with tradition, Tyler ate waaaay more than he put in his bucket. (I picked most of the berries in his bucket.) For whatever reason, Danielle seemed to find all the odd shaped berries. We finished off our trip with slushies on the porch. This is our 9th year in row of picking strawberries, and the kids still look forward to going. They got along nicely and we enjoyed each other's company. It was another successful trip.
