strawberry picking


Saturday we took Colin strawberry picking with his Aunt Angela and Uncle Opie (or as Colin call his Peee-ta-peee) It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed getting to know a little more of va beach and where we might potentially live. Angela showed us neighborhoods that are good to live in and James took us around to some houses that were for sell near their house. Too bad they are moving to CA probably when we move to the beach! But it was a great day and perfect for strawberry picking. Colin got out of the car, ran to the strawberries, picked a few and then told me he wanted to go "home - AJ" (back to James and Angela's house to play with their dog AJ - and also Angela's dad was getting the pool ready and had some great tools. Colin was all about helping) But the rest of us weren't ready yet and Colin eventually made it back to the patch for some more strawberries. He was more excited about the old rust lawnmower we passed walking back from the berry patch. Brent had to take his time and pick only perfect ones and while it took a while I must say it was worth it.Nothing compares to fresh strawberries.

What you need to notice is how big the strawberry is that I am holding! It must have been a record! haha Click on the picture and look at it zoomed in.

Very smart of you to put a dark shirt on Colin. Meredith's white shirt was stained red. I don't think a berry she picked made it into a basket - and she picked a lot.

I agree, large strawberry. Who were you on the phone with? Did you need to spread the word of how big the berry was?
