Strawberry Fields Forever

When we moved here, we were pleasantly surprised to find a little strawberry patch in our back yard. Last week the kids discovered some ripe ones and we have been picking them ever since.
We've already filled about 5 of these tupperwares with more to come. How long will it be before the kids think picking fruit is a chore instead of a fun activity?

I remember one day like 2 weeks ago I was talking to Alex on the phone and he said he had picked strawberries. I asked how many and he was quiet for like 30 seconds and said, "about 6." Glad to hear you're getting more!!

Actually, I think that I was one of the very first people to weed that strawberry patch. We noticed a few bees and a few blossoms so now it looks like you are getting some of the fruits of your labors. Nothing quite like fresh strawberries that haven't been sprayed with everything. How awesome. I love your pictures and all of your fun activities. You are having some amazing experiences. I love it that you go exploring and I love the pictures of the kids. Ruby always loves to put her arm around Alex in pictures and she is always such a good poser!!! They get cuter and cuter all the time!!!
