"How I Spent My Summer Vacation" Edition 1: U-Pick Strawberry Stand

We had a great summer vacation! We did too much and I did not have enough time to write about some of our activities. Now I am feeling a little guilty, this blog is supposed to be my journal. I want to be able to show my kids proof that we did have these fun times!

Strawberry Smoothies, Strawberry Short-cake, Strawberry Jam, Strawberry Pancakes, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Homemade Strawberry Ice-cream or how about just a plain old strawberry? Our house was filled with strawberries. When you have 8 very eager hands willing to pick the juiciest, biggest ones, it's very easy to get carried away with how much you pick. At the beginning of the summer we went with the Weenig family to the U-Pick Strawberry Stand in Carlsbad and picked to our hearts content. I think the kids enjoyed throwing the strawberries that were on the ground more. They got in a few strawberry Wars and ended up with splattered shirts. It was also very tempting not to taste-test these yummy fruits, we may have snuck in a few bites. I think the kids did a great job searching for the perfect strawberry. It did not take long to fill up our bucket. We are looking forward to eating Strawberries for a very long time!
