Strawberry Pickin'!

Beautiful, red, ripe strawberries!

(a preview shot of the loot)

It's that time of year again...and we took our 2nd annual trip to Sanderson Gardens in Brookings to pick strawberries. Well, Matt and Nathan actually stayed back and went fishing (which they caught about 10 fish, one of which was Nathan's first ever! Way to go boys!) Me and the girls met my mom, Amy, and Mayah, and got a perfect day for picking!


Mayah's harvest...get that bucket full!






















Addie did much better than anticipated. I guessed she would just sit in the straw and gorge on strawberries the whole time. But, she only ate about a half-dozen.




















Here's the crew (minus Amy):

total I brought home 19 lbs of strawberries!



Nana and Ella coordinated and wore their red strawberry picking shoes:)








(I love how these are her "sparkly princess shoes". Really they are so worn I don't think they have any sparkle left...but if Ella has her say, she will wear them until her toes grow out the ends!)
