Strawberry Picking

One of the highlights of the trip for the boys was just hanging around the farm. Though the rain did its best to put a damper on their fun, nothing could stop these guys, or Farmor, from harvesting the delicious vegetables and juicy strawberries from the gardens.

Picking strawberries.
(Well, maybe more eating than picking!)


It's hard to tell just how hard it was raining, but it was really quite unbelievable. For three days it rained and rained and rained! Curt said he couldn't remember a time in his life that it had rained so much. One day, a fire truck actually had to come out and pump water off the road just up from the farm because it was flooding - talk about a highlight for E & N!

Here are the spoils!


"These are pretty good!"

"Want a bite?"
