strawberry patch

Last week the boys and I went to a nearby strawberry patch to pick some strawberries with my good friend Amanda and her family. The berries were ripe for picking and tasted delicious! Sadly I missed the sign saying kids could eat as many as they wanted for free, so Jake only ate two before we paid. When I asked the girl to add a little on our price to pay for what Jake ate, she laughed and told me kids eat free! Sorry, Jake. Next time I think he'll probably eat strawberries the whole time. We plan on going back soon when Mark can join us. I took Jake's hat off for some of the pictures, and you can tell the sun was in his eyes because he is squinting:) Enjoy!

Ready to pick strawberries!

Strawberry picker extraordinaire. The tricky part was getting him to gently put the strawberries in the basket and not just drop them!

Sam was watching the action, but his face is hidden by his hat. It was bright!

See? There's one eye peeking out:)

Yummy, juicy strawberries! Check out the juice running down his arm:)

So good he didn't mind the juice running down his chin either!

Picking strawberries is hard work!

Jake's buddy Owen. This is who Jake calls any time he's playing with his phone.

Sweet.
