Strawberry Fields Forever

On Saturday, we headed a few miles north to a farm called the Berry Patch to pick strawberries with the kids. It was a beautiful day with absolutely perfect weather (not too hot or humid). Of the three kids, two are strawberry lovers (Jacob and Leah) and one (Peter) not so much. Can you guess who did most of the eating and who did the picking?

Once Peter learned to spot the bright red ones that were ready to be picked, he was a pro and went to town filling our box. While Daddy and Mommy helped Peter, Jacob and Leah helped themselves to all the strawberries they could fist into their mouths (the ripe ones the rest of us had already picked, of course). At any given point, they both had a strawberry in each hand that they were eating.

It was a lot of fun and we've got a ton of fresh strawberries to snack on for the next week or so. Maybe some of us besides Jacob and Leah will get to try some too.
