Strawberry Picking!

This morning we went berry picking at a farm in Cedar Grove. Ian turned out to be quite a good picker and it was a more productive, less messy experience than I anticipated. Uncle Greg showed him how it's done:

Success! Ian wanted to show off any particularly interesting or big berries:





We met Ariel, Talia (2) and Milo (9 weeks) there. They're visiting from NYC for a few days:

Ian, who by then had at least five minutes of experience, led Talia into the berry field:
