STRAWBERRIES etc.

Another reason I love living in Athens, GA!!! During May and the beginning of June, Washington Farms is our favorite place.
There are rows and rows of strawberries to be hand picked. The first trip over there Avery and I went with a few of our friends (who are also moving soon :( .......) We grabbed our buckets and set out to pick...
Avery and Sadie may have done more eating than picking(the fronts of their shirts were clear evidence), but they had fun! (Tenille with the girls)
Tenille, Sadie and Riley We love them!!!
After we finished our strawberry picking we headed over to the petting zoo area of the farm. The girls had fun feeding the goats.
Avery and Sadie chasing the chickens!
The bunnies! I think these were Avery's favorite ;)
The next trip out there we took with the cousins! This is how excited Avery gets when I tell her Anthony is coming over!
Hurry MOM! OPEN THE DOOR!!!
Avery and her buddy Anthony! out the door and off to Washington Farms
Avery helping daddy pick strawberries! [Growing up my Grandma had strawberry, blueberry and blackberry patches just like Washington Farms but on a much smaller scale. Going here reminds me of the fun times we spent out in the garden and I love watching Avery create her own memories with Daddy]
After all the picking was done, the kids played in the play area. (Avery, Nicholas, Taylor, Anthony, & Christopher)
& while we there my sister in laws and myself got caught up having too much fun... Remember the days when you used to just take fun "modeling" pictures of yourself, well we were goofing around decided to take some pics.... Here is Jill:

Jill & Kimi.... Hotties!

& Kimi
& me... They told me to make a seductive look, but after taking on the "mom" title making seductive looks feels unfamiliar...

Cute little Avery playing in the sandbox
the rubber ducky water pump races.... gotta love the COUNTRY :)

Avery trying to help Aunt Kimi beat Daddy...

Jill slid and fell a little in the mud, but its ok there was a watering trough to wash off!
when we got back to the apartment the kids had a pizza party while we made strawberry jam and pie!
Having fun making our own Jammin' Graham assembly line!
I can't remember the name of the ingredient Joey had Jill try but it was nasty!
Almost finished with the jam
& a yummy Strawberry pie! I love how Joey is poking his head in the picture!
