beautiful day for some strawberry picking

Today we ventured out, with some friends, to enjoy this beautiful weather. Our plan was to go strawberry picking last week while all the kids were on spring break, but alas a really COLD cold front came through and so we had to reschedule. 

Thank goodness that we did! Today was a gorgeous spring day and the strawberries we ready to be picked. The kids and I brought home to buckets full of sweet juicy berries. Lilliana is on a veggie strike at the moment and prefers to eat fruit, strawberries being her favorite. Hopefully she'll get her fill and get sick of them and start eating veggies again. One can dream can't they? :)
