Strawberry Fields Forever

Some friends in our neighborhood invited us to pick strawberries with them last week. Peter and Bryan stayed home, but the rest of us had a hot, dusty, juicy, wonderful time. I had planned on keeping Sophie in the stroller, but she wanted to jump right in with the big kids. Bonus: most of the berries she picked were a delicious deep red.

Ah Cooper, the man of a thousand faces.

And balancing skills, apparently. Thanks go to my friend Melinda for taking the next two pictures and then sharing them with me. I'm great at taking pictures, but lousy at sending them to people.

Look, Phoebe and I were there too! In fact, all four of us are in this picture, although Cooper is clearly focused on something other than posing for an awesome photo.

We had fun and came home with scrumptious strawberries. They were so sweet. At dinner that night Cooper took it upon himself to pass berries out to everyone, one at a time...
