Happy Summer

 

To celebrate the end of the school year, we kicked it off by picking strawberries at Hidden Valley, and then heading to the mall to get Ellie's ears pierced.  It was during that hot and humid spell we had last week, but the girls were troopers and we picked three pints.  A couple years ago we made jam, but we didn't pick enough, so we'll have to just buy them at the store and make them later.

 A few weeks ago, Erika had an event at her school and Emily met this sweet girl and they hit it off immediately.  They exchanged emails and have been writing back and forth and ironically, we saw them while picking strawberries.  Emily was so excited!

 The strawberries were so sweet and yummy and we stole a few to nibble on as we picked, because they were grown organically...

 

Happy Summer!
