This morning Jason took some time off from work to go with us to the Strawberry Patch. The kids have been looking forward to this for months, and they were hoping we might see some horses again. Last year, there was a trailer there with two horses, and apparently it made a big impression on them! I was surprised they remembered. On Tuesday, when I told them that the berry patch was opening the following day, they were chomping at the bit to go. So we piled in the car and headed off with buckets in hand. We had quite a trek through some terrain the kids weren't real thrilled about, and Alanna took a spill in some mud, but caught herself on her hands. She recovered and the rest of the trip was fun! Not too much mud to contend with from there on out. They loved picking the berries, and Emory had her bucket filled in no time. She did pretty well at finding (mostly) red strawberries. Aidan and Alanna finished pretty quickly, then they helped me fill mine. I think we ended up with about 10 pounds of strawberries, and I have no doubt that every last one will be thoroughly enjoyed! They are DELICIOUS...so sweet and tender and juicy! One of the things I love the most about these strawberries is how they smell...much more fragrant than any I've ever found at the store. Every time I open the fridge, I get a rush of it...YUM! When we got home, the kids ate and ate, asking for more every time I turned around. Emory was covered in strawberry juice!
