Everyone has their "mark of summer" . . . tank tops, swimming, sunshine . . . but since we live in Seattle, I would be a fool to wait for those things to begin my summer. For me, summer is official when we get to go berry-picking! Let the summer fun begin (even if we do have to wear jackets and it's not sunny!!) Thankfully, we have great friends who were as excited as we were to go berry picking . . .
"WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Rooke went right to work as soon as everyone piled out of the car. His job was making sure the strawberries tasted good enough to pick.

If they were smart, the farm owners would have a price/pound on kids' before and after weight!

Last year, Jaime and I had to work on keeping the kids from stepping on the strawberry plants and only eating the red ones. They knew just what to do this time around. Averie was giving Rooke lessons on how to eat the strawberry in one bite!
Sarah with The Loot (tune in to my food blog to see how we use those 13 pounds of berries!)
Berry-picking is one of my most favorite childhood memories. I hope the same for my kids.
