Picking FRESH Strawberries

Today was the first day of Summer vacation for the kiddos. And for me:) We didn't HAVE to be ANYWHERE and I could use a little more of that in my life now:) What a a treat. We did however need to do something besides sit inside and stare at one another so we opted for fresh berry picking in Carlsbad. It sounds a lot more glamorous that it actually is due to the mud and bugs but in the end we came home with two big buckets of fresh berries for jam. Becca wasn't buying the whole U-pick concept so she kept busy tearing down the caution tape which signaled to the patrons to stay in one area. She is afterall a Davis and does not do well with anything that says "keep out."

Amy and Jamison are now "pro-pickers" of fresh strawberries.
