Strawberry Picking

What a beautiful morning!  We loaded up this morning and headed to Eckert's - our very favorite pick your own farm in town.

 On the agenda for the morning - strawberry picking!  These sweet red berries are pretty tasty but a bit hard on the knees top pick.  The boys didn't seem to mind one bit.

 Jack loved eating berries right off the plant and it was adorable to watch.  Last year at this time he wasn't quite walking yet so he just plopped down and we had to bring the berries to him.
 Today he was totally self sufficient.  He could get all the berries on his own and he was pretty proud of himself.

 The big brothers took their picking job very seriously.

 This little grin and laugh . . . it just doesn't get any sweeter.

 Daddy did a pretty good job supervising the berry picking.

Like everything else, Max wanted to pick the most very perfect strawberries.  I think he was so busy picking that he forgot to stop to taste some.

Will on the other hand tasted lots. I had to constantly pick green berries out of Will's box.  For some reason he insisted that the green ones were wonderful. 

 I love watching Brian with the boys.  He is so patient and kind - it just makes me love him all the more

 

Jack loves giving kisses of any sort.  Every one that ever interacts with him is rewarded with a loud bye bye and a sweet blown kiss.  And I do mean everyone.  Grocery store clerks, random people walking, the teachers at the gym, animals.  It is super adorable.  Today he yelled my name from a row over, leaned in, and puckered up.  Who could possibly resist!?

Another wonderful family outing to remind me of just how fortunate I am. Three happy, healthy boys, and a pretty fabulous hubby to share the journey with :)
