Shlagel berries!

Last week we met some friends at Shlagel Farms in Maryland to pick strawberries. It was cool and overcast, perfect weather for picking berries. The kids loved scouring the rows for the perfect looking strawberries (Oliver was less discerning). Amelia did most of our picking since it was difficult for me to bend down with Simon strapped to me. (And sadly, I completely forgot to take any pictures of him.) Amelia did not want to stop picking and we ended up with 13 pounds of delicious berries! (Next post: the fate of the strawberries.)

When we finished picking our berries, I got to chat with friends for a few hours while the kids played on the little playground. The chickens were also a great source of amusement for the kids.
