Strawberry Fields Forever

We like to go and fill a bucket of strawberries during strawberry season once a year and gorge ourselves on the strawberries while we fill the bucket slowly.  We went on kind of a misty day in April.  After we left it poured rain the rest of the day, so we felt fortunate to hit a drier window of time and weren't cooped up inside all day.

 This was Warren's first time in the trenches and he had the eating part down.  The hard part was keeping up with him so you could clean the strawberries of first.  Ashlyn is a pro as you can see from her hand full.  Lara and Claire ate and gathered their fair share.  At the end though Claire stepped right into the middle of a mud patch that really sucked both feet down tight.  She could not step out.  We had to pull her up and then go get the shoes.  :)

It was a lot of fun getting dirty and picking the strawberries.  These kids are so much fun to watch.

Here are recent pictures of the four of them together up on top of a peak by our house.  Crazy group.
