Strawberries and Sharks

Spring is in full swing, and we started it with strawberry picking at a local farm in Albany, Louisiana:

Margaret gets credit for most of the harvesting...

Louise was more into hoarding and eating...

Our good friends, who now live about an hour away, met us there. Strawberry picking is really fun with friends, and we love any chance we get to see them. After we picked, we picnicked in the barn to get out of the rain. 

We'll be back next season! Not sure if we'll be fitting anymore strawberry picking trips in this year since we've started our first team sport:

I've realized that this might start the makings of ...a soccer mom? I don't feel I meet full criteria yet. With Margaret being the only girl at practice and the only one in pink, our first shot at soccer was a success (though I've been banned from picking out Margaret's future soccer practice attire). Today, the players voted on their team name. Their team color is grey, so the parents were thinking "Grey Goose" or the plural form, the "Grey Geese.";) The one in pink was pulling for "the Popsicles." The winner?  The GREY SHARKS...scary sounding, right? Dun, dun...dun, dun...dun, dun!
