We've established on the blog that our family loves going up to Greenbluff. We make many trips in the fall to the pumpkin patch, etc. Seth and I really wanted to head up a few times this summer to check out all the fruit that's grown up there - and the opportunity to pick some for ourselves. We headed up on Monday, since Seth had the day off because of the holiday. Well we lucked out and found that because of the cold, wet spring and summer so far, they've had to delay the u-pick strawberry season. We managed to hit the Siemers field on the first day they were open and we all had fun picking some yummy berries. Ella needed a little help figuring out that only the red ones should be picked.... but overall it was a successful and fun day. We made it home with about 4 pounds I think. Ella and I made strawberry bread last night trying to use some of them up! Yum!

I tried to comment on this yesterday, but I guess it didn't work. Anyway, I love Ella's grin! She must have loved those berries. And I'd love to try that strawberry bread. Sounds delish!
