Berry Pickin

This weekend we went strawberry picking.  Berry picking is one of those things we hope to do every year.  So on Sunday afternoon we went with some good friends.  Julie and her family are here visiting from Hungary and we were excited to have them come along.

 The place we wanted to go to was closed so we found another one in Pungo on the same street. It was probably the last of the season where we were picking but we still filled two huge buckets with strawberries.  And have almost eaten them all already. 

 The ones Joel picked were half/eaten or rotten.  So none of his ever made it home.  But he had a great time and ate his fill of berries. 

 The big boys were comparing their strawberries and competing on who got the biggest. I guess the one Eli is holding wasn't big enough  :)   I don't think Colin ate the strawberries like he's done the past few years.  Maybe one or two but has made up for it by eating them at every meal since. 

 The kids were jumping over the yucky mud puddle. Joel thinks he should do anything the older boys do.  But he didn't make it.  Good thing we had a change of clothes in the car.

There was this great play area for the kids so we let them play while Brent slowly picked his favorite ones. He loves to get all perfectly ripe ones. A fun afternoon.
