U-pick

Jared has been out of town for a few days and Michael has been mending from a yucky cold. So we tried out a few new venues for their energy. Today was strawberry picking at Farmer Mike's.
I'm a little sad to claim my roots as a city girl. My first reaction when we got out of the car--was "hmm, dirt." Well, it was dusty dirt, and I do enough laundry already. Jordan didn't bat an eye and I found handfuls of dirt sprinkled all over his strawberries.
It really is good to get the kids out to "a farm" and let them see how things grow.




It smelled sooo good at the stands--not like any grocery store I've been to....

Here's my attempt to get a shot of Tessa and I.

Hee-hee! I love the picture of you and Tessa! And yeah for super duper fresh strawberries from the farm. We have a place like that here! We adore it! You can eat as many as you want and then just pay for what you pick. So so delicious. But you know, its 30 degrees here. We have to wait still....a little jealous of our florida cousins! Thanks for the birthday wishes to Isaac. He ate it up.
