Berry pickin'

Today was a typical Saturday. We got up, met up with the Busseys for breakfast then Monkey had soccer. Seeing that it is the beginning of July, there is a fine Canadian tradition that we had to engage in today-we went to the strawberry patch and picked berries-mmmmm.
We couldn't get Mr I out of his room this morning or this afternoon so we just went the 7 of us. The boys all had a blast. We pay for the strawberries by the pound...they likely should have weighed them on thier way in and on their way out to be fair!!
Here everyone is, picking berries row on row. Some of them are getting a bit too ripe considering how late it is in the season, but that just meant that they were yummier for the eating fresh off the plant!
This is one of my favourite things to do with the boys this time of year-thanks for suggesting it Bussey Family!!

We've made arrangements for Mr I to hang out with another teenage boy and go to see a movie this afternoon. I hope they are having a blast!
