The boys and I kicked off the summer with another trip to Valley Home Farms for strawberry picking. Aside from Xander busting his knees on the gravel when we first got there and Jonas breaking the rules and sitting in time out after walking over strawberry plants to change rows (to the tune of another mom feeling the need to correct him and alert me to that fact even though she had four kids in tow…obviously two older girls…and I was trying to help my two younger boys pick responsibly), we had a good time. Ha! We picked enough to make strawberry pancakes for dinner and a vat of homemade strawberry ice cream and to fill a gallon freezer bag with fresh strawberries for later. We love that place and are looking forward to picking their blueberries this year.
