Way down yonder in the strawberry patch

Today we headed down to Davenport, near Santa Cruz to do some strawberry picking. It was only about 90 minutes away and it was the perfect day with a warm breeze and the sound of the ocean in the background.
I highly recommend this activity it was so much fun and the berries are all organic with no pesticides so you can eat them while you pick and as you can see Jack was a huge fan of the eating not so much the picking.Madison, on the other hand, was a big helper to Oma with the picking... but don't let her intensity in this picture fool you... she also ate her fair share!!It was all in a good day's work.... we had such a great time... looking for the sweetest one, the biggest one, etc

This is Jack and Madison looking over our "loot" and deciding who was going to pull the wagon back up the hill.
Looks like big sister got the job... We ended up picking about 15 pounds of strawberries... so I think we will be having smoothies, jams, and anything else I can think of to make with them for a long time!! Good times and we pledged to make this an annual summer outing.
