This morning we stopped at the local strawberry fields to pick a bucket of fresh, sweet strawberries. We did this four years ago when we first moved here. The kids had a great time but I just remember them being covered in mud and strawberry stains. And they were quite a bit younger (Meredith was just starting to walk). It wasn't much fun for me so I haven't wanted to go back. But the strawberries are really tasty and I thought it would be a fun way to end Spring Break so we went!
The strawberries are sold in our local stores and are actually on sale this week for a great price. Knowing that made purchasing this bucket seem even more expensive. I encouraged the kids to eat as many strawberries as they wanted and we were very selective with the strawberries that went into our bucket. And we filled that bucket until it could not be filled any higher and actually began to spill out. We also left with our tummies full of sweet strawberries.
By the time we had gotten home, cleaned up and homemade biscuits (for strawberry shortcake) were coming out of the oven, the storm arrived. We were so lucky to get out when we did and enjoy the last day of Spring Break because these rains included thunder, lightning, hail and gusty winds. They are still wreaking havoc tonight!
