We had a relaxing morning celebrating Evan for Father's Day - and then we decided to hit the strawberry fields and do some serious strawberry picking. Last year, Carter and I picked berries 3 days before Blake was born - and it will always be one of my most treasured memories. Carter is passionate about picking berries for some reason...maybe it's the tractor ride, maybe it's the wide open fields, maybe it's just spending time with people he loves. Whatever it is, it's a tradition now! It was fun to add our little Strawberry Monster this year. Wow, does he love berries!! The signs at the fields say "One free sample - all other picked fruit must be paid for." Oops - we broke the rules - to keep the Strawberry Monster happy!

Carter was very good at picking only the ones that were BIG, RED, and WITHOUT HOLES.
This is the one he chose for his free sample.
He spotted a strawberry and it was all over...we took turns giving the Strawberry Monster berries to keep him happy. He reaches and says "Meeeeee!" - his way of saying "more."
A VERY happy, and VERY berry stained baby boy!
Seriously impossible to get a photo of everyone looking at the camera.
Picking ONE MORE BERRY
The end result. YUM!
Carter is very interested in knowing what words say - "Straw-berry. Strawberry."
