Jaden LOVES strawberries. Given the opportunity he would probably eat himself sick. Last weekend we finally went strawberry picking - we almost missed the season completely! These pictures are from last year's excursion since it was threatening to rain and I didn't want to chance taking a bunch of pictures when I could be picking.
The picking was difficult this year since there were so many rotten strawberries on the bushes. We've had a particularly wet and cool spring which is not good for the strawberry harvest.
My little strawberry picker was too busy trying to steal berries from Daddy's basket to do much picking this year. It was also rather difficult for a two-year-old anyways because Mommy had to check each berry that went into the basket to make sure it wasn't rotten.
In the end we picked one carrier of strawberries to take home. Dessert for the weekend was strawberry shortcake! Nothing says spring quite like fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and soft white cake - yum!
