Strawberry Pickin'

Here we go, another one of my favorite family traditions. I love how my family has so many traditions. Anyways, Every 2nd week in April strawberries come to town. Our family loads up in the car and head out to Cottle Farms to pick fresh strawberries. They are so good. When you pick strawberries right off the vine they taste so much sweeter than the one in the stores. Needless to say we eat about 2 buckets each out in the patches and then we pick a bucket to go. As soon as we get out the car Isabel goes running right in a mud puddle and falls down. What the heck? Not even 2 seconds. This is why we always wear grundgie clothes out in the patches.

I picked a strawberry that looked like a hand. Vince thought it was cool and took it from me. Gimme a high 5!
Me and my sister in law, Rebekah, and her daughter, Olivia. Her and Gabby are 10 days apart.
