Strawberries with Traci

Traci came to our house as soon as she could after we got home. We got the crazy idea of going strawberry picking. It all started with me buying a $9 small box of locally grown strawberries at Fareway. There was a website, and we called to see if the strawberries were cheaper if you picked them yourselves. They were less than 1/3 of the price, so we were off to Long Grove.

The plants were loaded with beautiful, red berries. Mmmmmm! We picked 2 1/2 flats! We were second guessing this decision as we removed all the hulls afterwards. We made some pies and even jelly.

Traci and Isaac working hard. Isaac was a good little picker.

Owen did very good, too. He did get a few green ones, but not too many. Every time he picked one he said, "Mmmmmmm, I can't wait eat that one!"

Isaac and Ethan working hard. Man, Ethan could move through a row fast. He was at the end before I moved 2 feet. He also filled up his box fast.

They also had some toys. Aunt Traci purchased some rubber ducks, so we could have some duck races. We had fun with this for a long time.

Now that's my kind of chair.
