strawberry picking

strawberry-picking adventure

After a very rough Tuesday morning in which the kids took turns being grumpy (Cameron was grumpy getting out of the house and Dylan was grumpy at our play date at the park), the kids rallied and had a great time picking strawberries at Swanton.

It was so windy and cold and because it’s been so hot in town, I forgot to pack their jackets (this kind of absent-mindedness is so pervasive these days, it’s driving me out of my mind)! Despite the windchill, they both proclaimed, very cheerily, that they both wanted to pick strawberries!

In the photo above, Dylan’s displaying our Capture California flag to earn us some points!

This is the second day in a row that Cameron refused to change out of her pajamas. At least, she’s having a good time!

Here they are demonstrating how the wind is blowing them backwards…

Dylan did a LOT of running. It was great.

NO the way out of the car, Cameron proclaimed, “the redder the better!” That mantra stuck with the kids! They picked really awesome strawberries! I really wanted to pick 4 pounds, but it was so windy and I had such a hard time bending down with Chloe in the Ergo that we only took home 2 pounds. We made a yummy berry cobbler for the 4th with about 2 cups of it and we still had plenty to snack on for the picnic at Cindy’s! Best part was that the kids thoroughly enjoyed it!
