Sweet Treat

Yesterday the boys and I went with my mom and some friends to:



To pick:







While Tizzy assured us he's still not a fruit man, with a mouthfull of berries Zip professed, "I AM!"

Mike, also not a fruit man, thinks Tizzy is very smart.

Strawberries would be the only thing ever eaten around here if I'd let the kids get away with it. One day, we'll smarten up and go pick them ourselves like you guys!

I remember going strawberry picking with my Mom - so fun. I wanted to take my kids this summer - but we've had so much freaking rain the crops are kind of crappy.

Maybe we need to come to CA to go berry picking. That's not to outrageous, right?

UUuuummmmm! Freakadelic! We went last weekend and between the four of us we ate four pounds of strawberries before we got home. Yum.

Mmm, I love strawberries. Not so much the picking of them, but definitely the consuming.

Mine are not fruit men, alas, but I assure you, if I was picking those fantastic looking berries, there would have been none coming home with us. They'd have to weigh me before and after to know what I owed them when I was finished with my little harvest!

Becca said...

That looks like so much fun!
I remember picking blueberries once; Abby ate them as fast as she picked them!

Stomper Girl said...

Yum! and that last photo is FANTASTIC!!

MereCat said...

My daughter would go bananas for all those strawberries! That sounds like so much fun.

Charlie calls strawberries 'ah-boo' (don't ask me why!) and he loves them. Makes for interesting nappies (diapers) though!

Vodka Mom said...

Fresh berries and sun?? (I mean sons) Heaven.


Just finished picking more fresh raspberries here in....Oregon.

That's such a British thing to do too! PYO starwberries, a sure sign of summer.

Cheffie-Mom said...

Oh, how fun and what a treat!

CaraBee said...

anymommy said...

That says summer. Love the pictures. We just ate an entire strawberry rhubarb pie. Delicious.

Sus said...

how can one not be a fruit man with strawberries like those?? they are gorgeous!

Kari said...

We just went berry picking recently in the Half Moon Bay area. The kids had a blast!

This place looks like fun too. I'll have the check it out sometime.

ChefDruck said...

So fun! The strawberries were terrible in NJ due to the month of rain we had in June. Those CA strawberries look great!

My oldest is also not a fruit person. Isn't it so strange that they don't like something so sweet????

Me, You, or Ellie said...

Oh, I love these. July = strawberries. LOVE the shots of those long rows. Nice!
