24/52 and Favorite Photo Friday - road trip

{Summer in Wisconsin}

No Wisconsin road trip would be complete without seeing canoes (so many lakes here)

and wildflowers, as we drove to our destination.

One of my goals for the Summer with my kids
is to have them try or experience some new things.

They're experienced travelers. 

Both have traveled with us quite a bit and their passports have gotten a fair bit of use

for people their age.

They've been pumpkin and apple picking, but no strawberry picking.

My last strawberry picking experience was in Northern California many years

ago when my oldest was a little guy.

Thankfully it was pretty cool for this time of the year (in the 70's)

and we didn't have full sun beating down.

Both kids hung in there and were troopers.

Grace was totally into it and she was a bit competitive.

I helped Will get his berries.

 I had to explain to him that we only pick the red ones (he was gathering any and all, 

even the green ones at first). 

They were all fair game.  ;)

Will found a heart shaped strawberry and was showing it to his sister.

(These small berries are so sweet, no sugar needed).

You can tell our little adventure was a big success...
I'm thinking blueberries in July when they come into season?
