Strawberry picking!

It was a gorgeous day out on Monday....clear and in the 70's...a perfect day to spend outdoors. So we headed to the local strawberry patch for Kendall's first strawberry picking experience. It's safe to say she LOVED the entire adventure!

She eagerly grabbed her bucket:


...and got busy picking!


She caught on pretty quick that you had to find the biggest, reddest ones....and to pull from the stem, not strawberry.


Look at these beautiful plants!


She stepped in a bit of mud (see her left foot), but even that wouldn't deter her:


She picked out several especially for daddy!


Showing off her goods:


So proud of herself!


She then brought them up to the counter to be weighed:


And then took a break on the branch of a big old tree nearby to try a taste.


Whew! All in a hard day's work.
