A Berry Nice Day

Awhile ago we took the family up to Wetaskiwin to pick strawberries at Stevens Strawberries.

It is a family owned strawberry u-pick.. and Naomi happens to be part of that extended family. So it was a berry picking family reunion kind of day. The kids were there helping pick berries (more like, helping themselves to berries..), along with uncles, aunts, and grandparents. Afterward we had a big BBQ and some good times visiting with family we don’t see very often.
