A Strawberry Saturday

I don't know if anything is more delicious than some freshly picked, juicy, sun ripened strawberries with a bowl of fresh whipped cream to dip them in. I know your mouth is watering now...mine is just writing about the berries and I had them for dinner last night and breakfast this morning! We all had red drip marks on our shirts from sampling the berries yesterday as we were picking them....mmmmmmm!

As a side note, Daniel thinks whipped cream is "whooped cream"

Besides getting some delicious berries, the farm we went to pick them at had some other fun family activities (Ok, lets be honest here, "family friendly" really means kids friendly. But happy kids = a happy family). Here are some cute pictures.

The "moon bounce" was fun until he saw the tractor

Daniel got a balloon sword

Looking at this makes me recognize the disparity in the world even more.
Recently, there have been riots in 3rd world countries because of a lack of grain.
The children got to play in corn kernels...a topic for another day.

Our good friends, the Swapps, who spent the entire day with us.

Yum! That looks like such a fun family activity. I bet the strawberries taste so much better when they ripen on the plants! You sure look great, Tara, by the way!
Love you all lots!

This reminds me of a fun day a year ago with a different new baby! Congratulations on beautiful baby James' birth!! I obviously have not been keeping up with blogging, and I'm just seeing your new sweetie for the first time. It looks like the Swapps have a new baby too?! Y'all look great!
