Strawberry picking . . .

It had been raining, raining and raining for a few days . . . once it cleared up I took the boys and a friend to Skelly's Patch. It was fun but messy . . . note to self don't go right after a huge rain storm even if it's all sunny and pretty outside.

Metz was in charge of finding the row and where we would pick!!!

Metz found a ton a strawberries and was great at picking them

Chase on the other hand was great at eating them. We couldn't pick them fast enough and he would let us know it. He also sat down on a few strawberries, got mud covered and walked through the rows!

We found lots of strawberries! Even with all the ones Chase ate we still ended up buying a few pounds.

Here is our patch and our sweet Metz. He was a great helper and loved strawberry picking.

Dirty hands and dirty kids . . .

means mission accomplished. Yes, that would be strawberries all over chase's face. Gotta love that face :)

Treats. Well earned. Don't worry I earned a donut and a pepsi. It was a fun experience but I'm excited strawberry picking time doesn't come around for another year.

Not a baby anymore :(

I had this seat sitting in Metz's room for a few months and a few weeks ago Chase was looking for a place to relax. Well he climb right in and settled into playing a game. I looked over and my first thought was "well, he's not my baby anymore". He is so BIG in this seat! They grow so fast.
