The Strawberries Taste Like Strawberries

We really enjoyed strawberry picking last year when we did it, so we decided we were going to do it again... but Roca Berry farm didn't have a crop (something about the weather). 

Never fear, we still found strawberries and a great new place to take the kiddos (Jack's class even went on a field trip there later in the year).  Martin's Hillside Orchard is just a few miles from Ceresco, so it is on the good side of town ;)

We had a great time picking (and eating) strawberries. 

(Yes, I'm still wearing that shirt... I think I'm wearing it in about 1/2 of the blogs since I bought it).

We took the strawberries home and made delicious jam.

And my first Instagram photo

Spring Flung.

After March, we really lost track of time and suddenly it was almost Memorial Day.  

Jack had his first dance recital.  To those of you who were concerned that he might not be my child... after his performance in the dance recital, there is absolutely no question. 

(I was a pretty awesome kid afterall).

After the recital we headed to DQ for a treat with Grandma and Grandpa. 

Sam really liked his treat!

We went camping one more time in the Spring.  

We were able to snag the spot that we really like at Branched Oak. 

I promise we took Jack with, I just didn't get any pictures of him. 

Jack has really come into his own as a big brother and most of the time is very sweet and inclusive.  He also politely lets us know when he's ready to be alone which is fantastic.

Sam wants to copy his big brother constantly, so he's really into the haymarket train too.  

We also made it out to the Cabin for Memorial Day weekend. 

(we supposedly looked cute when they started to take this picture)
