Strawberry Picking!

Last weekend we found a U-Pick berry farm and went strawberry picking! This is one of our favorite summer things to do and it was so fun!

This is the fun part...

Fun family times.

We also ended up buying a half-flat of raspberries from the berry stand...this is a TON of berries!

Maren had woken up with a bunch of HUGE bites on her arms and legs that day...and see her fat eye? (Sorry about the sideways pic...darn blogger.) Anyway, I had given her Benadryl and it knocked her out...she slept in the car on the way to AND from the berry farm and then slept for another 3 hours after that! I had to wake her up!!

So we decided to make raspberry-lemon sorbet with some of the berries. There were just too many and they don't last very long...so into the blender they went!

Yes, it's a bit loud... :)

After mixing it all together we put it in containers in the freezer and voila, we have sorbet! Yummy!

(PS We ate ALL the strawberries and the rest of the raspberries -5 pints - in about 3 days!)
