Eckert's is sooo much fun! We picked (and ate) lots of strawberries this afternoon. There were so many ripe berries that is was very easy to fill up a basket. We picked 7 pounds and if I hadn't been stopped we would've had way more, I was a little out of control, it's hard to stop!
Between Emma and Ellie they probably ate another 7 pounds or so.
So peaceful!
As much fun as picking berries was I think that what occurred once we got home was the best part! Emma wanted to give her preschool teachers some strawberries for the last day of school tomorrow. She carefully put berries in plastic baskets from Eckert's and wrote cards for each basket. Ellie, wanting to do the same, started to make baskets and cards of her own. She was making them for her teachers at the Family Center. We've gone there once a week all school year and yesterday was our last day. I figured I would dissuade her from actually delivering the baskets since I didn't really want to drive the fruit over to the Family Center. That was until Ellie read me this card, it reads "To Mr. Clyde, because you are a very important person. Love, Ellie". Mr. Clyde is the custodian at the Family Center and indeed a very important person. We'll be driving these baskets over to the Family Center first thing tomorrow morning, who can resist a heart so sweet?
