Strawberry Picking

 We had a very slow warm up this spring, so in true Riffle form, we pick the hottest day of the year to go strawberry picking!!  Oh well, the kids still had fun and Matt Riffle was able to bring home $35 in strawberries - remind me next time to NOT let him be in charge of the amount of strawberries one family needs!!!
 Grandpas favorite thing to do is pick strawberries too.  We are not allowed to go picking without him - per the children!!
 Carly and Harper discussing how things are going on their rows!!!
 Daddy supervisor!  Finley did really good picking,  Channing did too, until she would fall and dump her entire bucket!
 Mmmmm....juicy!
 She loved running up and down the aisles.  And then falling down in them too!  She was covered in dirt!
 Ok...since it was so hot, the kids decided to bring their umbrellas to shade them from the horrendous rays.  It was also windy that day.  As you can see, Finley had some issues with her umbrella!  Yes, I was in tears at this point as the child was screaming from the strawberry patch as the wind inverted her umbrella!  It was hilarious!
 We found some shade to rest!
 Group picture with the super cool purple umbrella - I was still laughing!
Strawberry picking with Grandpa is the best!!
