This week we did something that both Rhonald and I loved doing as kids...we went strawberry picking. Cole loves a good garden and all things "country" so he was in complete heaven in the middle of that strawberry patch! He doesn't even like to eat strawberries but he absolutely loved "catching" them. He kept saying that, "I love catching these berries!" Lily's favorite thing to do right now is to organize...she love to sort and stack anything, including strawberries! She was so happy to sit by the buckets and move the strawberries around into different piles. About half way through Lily figured out she could eat the berries...as many as she wanted and boy did she. I think she ended up taking one bite out of a million strawberries. The freedom to roam and explore was perfect for both of the kids in their own way. Cole was so proud of every berry he picked and wanted us to see each and every one. We ended up picking 9 quarts in about 45 minutes. Cole would have stayed out there all day if we would have let him! It was an absolute amazing morning of fun and family time for us. Rhonald and I already plan to take them back later in the summer when the blackberries are in season. It was simple and fun and completely yummy!
