Blessed [shall be] thy basket and thy store...The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Due 28:5,8
Where did all the berries come from??
About this time every year, we get a call that "The Strawberries are ready!!" Some of the Graves' friends own several fields over in the Strawberry Capital-Plant City, and every year when it is getting too hot for the pickers to pick, they call us to come and pick for free. They usually let us pick for two days before they plow it all under. We get the call the day before or day of, so we drop everything and head to the strawberry fields!!! We always invite everyone we know, so it is a big gathering!!
We are on our way!!!
We are on our way!!!

"You want a berry?"
Picking...
Amanda looks happy :)
Kitty's battle scars...It has become a tradition to have "Strawberry Wars" This is a dirty game in which one grabs a handful of strawberries, crushes it, and proceeds to throw it at his unsuspecting victim.:)
Most of the kids participate, and so we end up leaving looking like we have just walked out of an ambush. (Which is true for some) :)
Andrew picks his ammo. 
Uh-oh! Looks like the cameraman is the target!!
