Strawberry Fields Forever

For those of you who don't know, Saturday is Family Fun Day around the VanDyke household. This morning we went to Gizdich Farms in Watsonville, CA which is about 45 minutes from Monterey. It was worth the drive though. The girls (and mostly me) had an awesome time with our friends the Beaches picking some of the best berries I've ever seen (or tasted).







Here's a cool pic of Addie showing me what you can do with an empty bucket. I wonder where all of her strawberries went too. It was either in her mouth or in Hallie's bucket.



















Here's a nice group shot. Well not really, no one is looking at the camera in this pic, but if you can see Haley's face it's priceless. I think she got ahold of a bad strawberry. "Honey, if it's on the ground you shouldn't eat it!"









All total, we ended up with about 13 lbs of berries today. We basically have been giving them to neighbors all afternoon and evening. Of course we can freeze some, but we might as well share the wealth.








The girls really did enjoy their time with each other today. I'll highlight some of the events after berry-picking in our next post!
