right after we returned from utah, my sister camille and her little boy benson came up for a quick visit. her husband was out of town on a cub scout camping trip, so we were lucky enough to get to visit with her. although i do think we might have bored her a bit. we were recovering from vacation, so my kids were tired and cranky. but we did manage to get out and go strawberry picking so we could make some fresh strawberry jam.
the kids enjoyed picking strawberries in the beginning. they were quite helpful dropping them in the box.
until we discovered that it was okay to eat a few strawberries here and there. i'm pretty sure tanner considered this his job and took it seriously. we finally had to move the box from him.
aren't they pretty? they didn't look that way the next day. they were shrunken and discolored the next day. the strawberries had a really hard time this year with the crazy weather.
the kiddos finally started entertaining themselves.
i don't know what silly benson boy is doing. i told him i wanted to take a picture and this is how he posed.
our kids ran a little too far away, so tyler had to chase after them and carry them back. they don't look happy about it, but they were smiling and having a good time.
our families after picking. i think benson ate his fair share of strawberries too.

Looks like you had fun. Funny how the strawberries looked so good the day you picked them, but not the next day.
Love the picture of Tyler carrying the kids back--you've got to LOVE having a dad to help with things like that!! After trying to chase them around all day, by night time I am all about Jason wrangling Jacob! :)
P.S. Would you ask Camille if I can be invited to her blog? I used to read it when it was open to all. My email is: lsafsten@yahoo.com
thanks.
Strawberry picking--what a perfect summer family outing. So glad your sister was able to visit!
