Berry Patch.

The boys and I went on an adventure today - we went to the Bellevue Berry Patch! It's strawberry season here, and the berries were ripe for pickin'. Today was a perfect day - not hot, nice and breezy and sunny most of the time. I had planned this for today, and I was so happy when I woke up at 9am and found the weather cooperating beautifully.


The 'fruits' of our labor.

The best dialogue from today? Read on...

A.J.: (looking into his basket) My basket is filled fuller than yours, Jack. See? My basket is 1-2 rows from the top. (counting the weaves)

Jack: Nuh uh. MY basket is more fuller than yours. You have 1-2-free rows, and I only have 1-2. (reaching into A.J.'s basket and counting the weave rows)

A.J.: Jack, don't touch my berries - that's rude.

Jack: (reaches for A.J.'s basket again)

A.J.: (in a whiny tone) Mo-om! Jack's touching my berries. Tell him it's RUDE to touch other people's berries.

Me: (dissolving into fits of giggles)

So remember this, folks: It's rude to touch other people's berries.
