Strawberry Fields

We did manage to make it to Sweet Berry Farm this weekend, and we picked pounds and pounds of luscious strawberries!

The kids had fun picking strawberries; Izabel went for quantity over quality:

But Brandon ate more than ended up in his basket (once he was convinced that a little dirt never hurt anyone):

My son J.B. spent a lot of time finding only the most quality berries:

Everyone petted the horses and donkeys:

And oohed and aahed over the baby:

Mama Donkey fell in love with my lovely partner, especially after she fed her grass and strawberries:

After we got home, we used the last few ounces of our energy to make some strawberry preserves:

English muffins and strawberry preserves for dinner, then strawberry shortcake for dessert. Does it get any better than this?

And what did you find pleasurable today?
