Peas, anyone?

Today we went to Greenbluff to pick strawberries. It was so fun!

The "city" of Greenbluff has perfected the art of agritourism. The farm we stopped at had a playground, you pick strawberries, pony rides and (as pictured above) a sandbox full of dried peas. The kids totally loved it.

Usually I don't go in for pony rides, but these horses looked very healthy and well-cared for. It was clear that their owners were kind to them.

My camera died before I could snap one of Josh.

The kids really enjoyed picking strawberries, which I didn't expect. I formulated this idea based on the premise that I must create memories for my kids. I do this a lot :) They may not like it, but gosh-darnit, they'll remember it! However, they actually had a great time. Even Petey said "I didn't think this would be fun, but it actually is!" Josh ate strawberries almost as fast as I could pick them. We didn't really end up with as many as I'd hoped, but that's ok. I'd like to think I could make strawberry jam but I know I probably wouldn't. I don't have any of the equipment. The strawberries are delicious. We're just eating them as we please :)

This week's weather is AWFUL. I hate it. And we have A/C but last night it was still running at 10 PM so we finally shut it off, but that made it too warm to sleep well.

We've been to Greenbluff quite a number of times. We usually go to get pumpkins and in the summer we love getting fresh peaches and cherries. We've gone apple picking and blackberry picking a few times. Mmmm fresh fruit!
