Strawberry Picking

Yesterday (Easter Sunday) Joel had to work, so the kids and I met Rebecca's friends Mira and Amelia at a local farm for some strawberry picking. The weather was gorgeous (sunny and in the 80s) and the bushes were loaded with strawberries. We picked way too many, enjoyed some strawberry smoothies, a hayride around the farm, as well as some of the other farm attractions (the girls loved the chickens, and Ben loved running around the "strawberry maze" which was harder to find the way out of than it looked).

After the morning at the farm we headed with Rebecca's friends to Panera Bread for lunch, and finally headed home where we made strawberry shortcake but to my dismay this used less than half the strawberries we'd picked. Strawberries anyone??
