strawberry goodness

aaron is always asking me "what the plan is". so i made a plan. last week i called aaron's sister up in monroe & inquired about u-pick strawberries. there were a few farms close by. so we got up in saturday morning & headed up. it was perfect weather, not rainy & not hot. the girls had a lot of fun rummaging for berries. evb, who doesn't like fruit, even had fun...pick one, eat it, spit it out. we ended up giving a tip to cover all the half-eaten berries she left behind.
afterward we went over the kelly's house & had lunch & spent the afternoon with her family. it was fun. the girls LOVE aaron's sisters. by the time we got home our strawberries, which were extremely ripe, had smashed eachother. we tried to salvage as many berries for eating pleasure & then we made a batch of jam with the rest. aaron says it is the best strawberry jam. hoping to go again next week for some more. yum.
