Strawberry Season Starts Summer Surprises!


Enough said!!!
Honestly, strawberry season started a couple of weeks ago and today was the first chance we were able to get to the field.  Classic southern style, we had scheduled a day out with Emna, her mom and dad.  We had planned on meeting at the field at 10am and it didn't open until NOON!  UGH!  In order to pass the time, we took the girls to the local park and let them run, run, run.  Once again the girls played wonderfully and had such a great time.  The squirrel that kept checking them out was the highlight of their time at the park.  It appeared the squirrel was looking for something to snack on and he didn't realize the girls were NOT what he was looking for!
The time finally came when it was time to get the girls back in the car and head to the strawberry field.  The girls played so hard at the park I was afraid Madison was going to fall asleep (it was just a short time before her normal naptime!).  I then realized that she was very excited to get out there and pick her share of strawberries.
The first bite of the season

Y-U-M!!!
Tasty!!!!

 Miss Lace loved having Emma there. She and Emma kept comparing the strawberries they were picking...or should I say eating!

With two buckets full of strawberries it was time to head back to our house for burgers and dogs.  But had to stop and take just a few more pictures before heading off.

I still have room for more!

This is my silly face
Emma and Madison had a really WONDERFUL day together (six hours of nonstop play!).  Liz had to carry Emma out kicking and screaming, literally!

Well...off to bed.  It's Monday tomorrow and we have to get ourselves psyched up.  Love to all!!
