Strawberry Fields Forever

This morning I took the girls strawberry picking at Critz Farms in Caz. Leah had a great time and as expected, ate more than I think she picked! Aisy was in the Bjorn with her sun hat and new sunscreen for the SUPER SENSITIVE!!! It's called Blue Lizard and while it's expensive, I have to say we really like it. I tried to skate by without plunking down the cash for it. I figured I'd just use the Water Babies I've always used on Leah on Aislin too. But after the hives, the pediatrician pretty much served up the smack down on that (we're not even using soap or cleanser on Aisy for the time being) so Blue Lizard it is. And I have to say it hasn't bothered Aisy (or me, or Leah...) one bit!!


As you can probably tell from the pictures we had a BLAST indulging in one of summertime's most wonderful activities. Leah was a great picker and knew just which ones were ripe enough to pick and eat. There were boat loads of berries in the field and even though many were on the small side, I swear...I have never had a sweeter or better tasting strawberry in my life!!! They were delicious. I took lots of pictures and even though it was a long ride, I think everyone agreed it was worth it. I was so excited to eat some when w got home that I had bran flakes with strawberries and vanilla soy milk for lunch. Mmmm....

Next crop up is Leah's FAVORITE!!! BLUBERRIES!!! They sprout up mid-July and you can bet we'll be there to pick some more for ourselves!!! YUM!!!!
