Simply Strawberry-licious...

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina...in the morning!! Unless...you get to pick fresh, ripe - BEAUTIFUL - strawberries! Being from the desert, this has become a huge treat that I look forward to each spring. And this year, we were able to share it with my parents!

And their off...ready to get some yummy strawberries!

Jackson needed a little help from Grammie...

Okay, he really needed A LOT of help from Grammie! :-)

He was quite content with his ten strawberries.

More experienced "pickers"!!!

After all that hard work - a nice cool slushy hit the spot!
It also hid the fact that Jackson tasted almost every strawberry he picked!
Some of those poor berries didn't quite make it into the box.

Content to let others do the hard work!

Afterwards we headed to Olive Garden for our overdue Mother's Day lunch. It was a little crazy...forks flying everywhere, noodles on the floor, crying babies at every elbow...but we had a good time!

And so far...this is our best attempt at a family picture.
We'll keep trying! :-)
