After many requests,we finally made it...

I think Colin has been asking to go strawberry picking since we ended school in mid May. We have just been so busy and I learned after several years of going by myself, it is much more fun, (and relaxing) to take Kevin along.
When we arrived we were greeted by the cutest little farm dog. My kids were in love at first sight! Isn't that how it is for them with all animals?? William is making a sprint for the barn. He is ready to pick, but very apprehensive about riding on the tractor.
A photos minus William who is beyond stressed at this point about the very big tractor that is coming to get him.
Look how little Emma looks here. Those are some big wheels!
Silly William!


My pre-teen still enjoys these family outings.
Beautiful Girls!

And a handsome guy!
Our view from our tractor ride. It is MUDDY!!!
William dug right in. He loved it!
Colin had to examine every strawberry to make sure it was worthy of his basket.
Emma is a little unsure if she should try one??
Look what I got!
He finally found the perfect strawberry.
Emma doesn't mind getting down and dirty.
Look who spotted an airplane.
This strawberry approved Adrienne's taste test.
William was so proud to be able to carry such a big box. It's the simple things in life that put a smile on his face.
The most excited for the day and the last to leave the field.
To my favorite people in the world... thank you for making family time so special for me. I love you all so much!

Great photos, cracking up at William stressing comments, love Colin and that perfect strawberry (it was!) and such beautiful girls mugging together for the camera.

SO...should we go? Are there lots of berries or did you have to hunt?
And you know I'm going to ask.

WAS IT CROWDED???

Not Crowded at all. Maybe three other families picking with us. But yes, you really had to hunt for the good ones, but we got plenty and they are YUMMY!!!
Go, but go soon!
