Strawberry Picking!

In honor of Father's day I thought it would be fun to highlight a messy, er, special papa and son moment. This past weekend when visiting the grandparents in Connecticut we were fortunate enough to take Sasha on his first strawberry picking adventure. 

En route to the fields. 
We had to take an open truck to the field where we picked the strawberries. As you can see Sasha is holding his container in anticipation of the fun. Please note his slick back hair is not a fashion statement, but rather massive amounts of sunscreen for our hat less wearing toddler. This came recommended from the experts, Aunt Kim and Uncle Brooke, parents of three grown children who survived toddler hood. 

No mistaken whose the papa here. 
Here's my handsome guys in the incredible strawberry field. It was a beautiful Saturday, perfect for picking berries. (Take note of Sasha's clean shirt) Once we put him down he was in berry heaven. 

The ride back to the car from the field.
Sasha consumed a considerable amount of strawberries as did the entire Burling clan. They were outstanding! As we departed we read the sign that said blueberries will be in season for picking in July/August. Considering blueberries are Sasha's all time favorite food we will return, but not with a pale blue shirt. 

Happy Father's Day!
