Strawberry Weekend

We wandered around and checked out some other parks near out house.  William had fun playing on the elementary school's playground even if a lot of it was a bit beyond his physical capabilities.





Eating popsicles, blowing bubbles and running through the sprinkler in the back yard on a hot afternoon.





We had tons of fun with Grandma S this weekend.  We went strawberry picking a couple towns over and had fun riding on the wagon pulled by the tractor out to the field.  William was doing great with picking until he discover that you could eat them in the field too.  Then I think about 20-30 strawberries didn't make it into the box (or got taken out while Grandma wasn't looking).

William also befriended a 80 year old man waiting for his wife of 50 years to pick her strawberries.  The gentleman was amazed by William still eating strawberry after strawberry when we were done picking.  Next year I will have to remember to put him in a red shirt instead.

All in all we picked about 17 pounds and froze 15 pounds.  During the next visit from Grandma Mc, I think we will be making strawberry jam!
