Strawberries!

It's strawberry season again!! We went on our annual strawberry picking trip to Pride of the Wapsi in Long Grove, IA today. We have been going to pick strawberries each summer since Carver was about 15 months old. We all love it and we look forward to it each year.

Today's trip was a successful trip to the strawberry patch if you ask me. The weather was beautiful, the strawberries were big and juicy, and the kids had a great time eating more strawberries than they picked to take home.

Someone once asked us, "Why don't you just go to the store and buy strawberries like 'normal people'?" This is why........

Oh, and the strawberry pie, chocolate covered strawberries, fresh strawberries on our pancakes tomorrow morning, strawberries that I froze today so we will have some all year,and all of the fresh strawberries we will eat in the next week or so. I think these are the best strawberries I have ever tasted!

And the best part of all, the memories we have of strawberry picking each year will always last far longer than all of the yummy strawberries!
