Our Boy and His Cricket

It's that time of year and when you're looking for somewhere to appease your toddler, picking strawberries is the perfect antidote to a lazy Saturday!  The day started off slow and pajama clad until we grabbed the cameras and set out to watch wonder unfold in the eyes of our girl.

Our little sprout was in heaven!  She wandered up and down a few aisles peeking at the red berries that poked through the rows of green.   Taking care to not disturb the bee's that intermingled with us, we sat trying to capture this popular local past time.   

Even though the season is young, the smell of ripening berries was everywhere!  The last time we'd walked these steps was with a little boy who now towers above us and chose to welcome James Durbin home instead of walk down memory lane which was an experience like non other for him!  :)

Carrying her bounty back up the row our cricket realized she needed to have a quick snack.  

After the first one went down and while I turned around for just a minute she'd started on her second and would have kept at it if we hadn't stopped her so we could pay for the last of the bucket.

We are very much looking forward to grabbing our buckets and baskets again soon and maybe adding some blackberries to our bounty.  Hopefully next time we'll be able to get some home to enjoy with some ice cream before they are eaten up!
