Strawberry Picking 2009 Edition

As most of you know the girls and I go strawberry pickin' every year. Honestly, this is one of my favorite spring activities to do... especially since I get to reap the benefits of strawberry jam, strawberry smoothies, strawberry shortcake, strawberry cookies, and so on.




This was Evie's first year and somehow we managed. I had her baby bjorned. She was a quick hand though, sometimes grabbing the strawberries from me before they made it into the basket. I would be lying if one didn't make it in her mouth. Joining us on our adventure were some of my favorite people, the Hoods. Ava is now 2 and a half and totally enjoyed eating as many berries as she could. Brigg is 7 (he and Rose played soccer and went to preschool together) and enjoyed throwing the "rotten" ones. The picture above is a pretty good action shot of Ava spilling her basket and Evie getting ready to sneak one of Lily's strawberries. Don't forget to click on it to get the full detailed shot!!












We were blessed with a warm sunny day that called for yummy ice cream from the farmer's market before we left. Good good times.
