Strawberries and Such






Last Wednesday we went with our neighbor-friends The Gunns to Elliott Farms to pick strawberries. The kids had a blast! Although they didn't pick too many, they enjoyed running through the aisles and sampling the berries off the plants. We took a picnic dinner and ate there at the farm. The bugs were bad, but we all had a wonderful time and everyone slept well that night!


Fast forward to Sunday, April 20th...we had polished off the berries that Savannah and I picked on Wednesday, so we made a deal with Savannah that if she made it through the kids service at church on Sunday that we would go back to the "strawberry picking place" on Sunday afternoon. She was a gem in church and was pleased to be able to say the Lord's Prayer with the congregation. Several of friends from church joined us at the farm for strawberry ice cream and picking. I have a feeling we'll be heading back out there late this week for some more!


The pictures of Vince were taken by Robin Cook at Fickling & Company. She works in the office there and enjoys photography on the side. She was able to snap these pictures of Vince while I was visiting with friends there. It's amazing how much he has changed in just 10 weeks.
