This time of year is so beautiful here -- it's not hot yet, and we really get a true spring which I love. It makes it perfect for spending our weekends outside doing all kinds of fun stuff around the area. One of the things I remember doing as a kid that was so much fun was picking strawberries. I had heard there was a place not far from here that you could go to, so we had to check it out. This will definitely become a regular thing for us -- I loved it probably more than Will did. There is a huge strawberry field and then they also have a big produce market, picnic area, and smokehouse. After we picked strawberries I got to shop in the produce market, Will played in the picnic area, and Todd got some smoked sausage. Everyone wins! It was a great way to spend a spring weekend.
Here's Will in the picnic area -- I told him that the tire was from an old tractor and he was more than happy to sit on it. :)
Will told us we were "strawberry hunters" and we had to check out many, many rows of strawberries. As soon as we picked some in one place, he was on to the next row to hunt for more. We could have filled our buckets and hardly moved, but no -- we had to go exploring.
Our little farmer hard at work...
Will getting a lesson from daddy on which strawberries are ready to pick -- we told him if they were the color of his shirt he could pick them.
A rare family photo taken by a kind random stranger. And we were all actually smiling at the camera -- a miracle! As I was looking at this one tonight it struck me that this is probably one of the last pictures we'll have as a family of three. I still don't think it's real that we're adding another person to our little world -- and that it's happening pretty soon!
