Mmmmm, Strawberries!

With the increase in available child labor, comes an increase in yummy strawberries!  I don't think we could've picked a better day to pick.  The berries were perfect and plentiful, super sweet, and it was a cloudy unseasonably cool afternoon.







 For a good while Ellie didn't want to try the strawberries.  I finally forced one into her mouth...then couldn't get her to stop.


 Everyone always says John looks exactly like Buck.  I don't typically see it, but it certainly can't be denied here!  He did a great job picking.  He was really on task...to the point I had to remind him to try some!
 Eve and Ellie spent their time filling their bellies, emptying our baskets, and cracking each other up.
 There was an awesome tractor back in the field.  I'm not so sure we were supposed to be on it, but we sure had a good time!

All done...sort of.  Even after we packed into the car to leave I had to keep slapping at their hands to keep them out of the bucket (figuratively, of course)!
