There's nothing finer than fresh picked berries

I love this time of year...well, except for the heat and the humidity, I could do without those. But I could never do without the wonderful berries that start coming in this time of year. We made our first trip this year to our favorite orchard for some strawberry picking. The kids love it, strawberries are a favorite in our family and Chase is no exception, he could eat them all the time.

Chase went picking with us last year but was too small to come out of the sling. This year he had a blast!



He was fascinated with the irrigation system and the hay.



Connor didn't want me to get a picture of his strawberry juice covered mouth.


Lillee, Connor & Isabel were great pickers...Isabel was the most productive. Connor and Lillee ate most of what they picked.


We did not leave with many strawberries, I couldn't keep the kids out of them. This is not a picture of them putting strawberries in, they're removing them!


This is what happens on the way home, after a morning of hard work in the field.

We missed the strawberries, but I'm planning my blueberry trip here in the near future! I LOVE berry picking too. I think the kids will have such wonderful memories doing it!
