This spring has been so mild that the strawberry picking has just begun in May - usually we have already picked by now!  Today was a great day to pick - not too hot and not too cold!

The Mangusos came with us!  Even more fun!

Lindsey and Madeline talking and picking - maybe more talking than picking!

Eli, Nate and Owen on the furthest row possible!

susanna had a great time picking - before we left, she snagged her "bib shirt" - the t-shirt we put on over her shirt if she is eating something messy like spaghetti!  Guess she was anticipating eating a few berries before we left!

Goofy girl!

Great friends!

More great friends - check out that combined haul!  Good job, boys!

We all love this springtime tradition to usher in some warm weather and yummy strawberry recipes to cool us off!
