A few days before my birthday, I had my friends Myaela Cress and Paula Lavine over for cheesecake (Cyrus O'Leary's Turtle cheesecake-HEAVEN in my mouth! Does not get better than that). We just chatted and ate (at least I did) large quantities of fattening snacks and fruit smoothies. It was sooo nice just to sit around and chat with girlfriends, which I do not do enough!
On July 2nd, we went to Greenbluff to pick Strawberries. Greenbluff is a large collection of farms in Spokane. You can go to them through out the year and pick fruit and vegetables (that are in season) at various farms. They are usually much more inexpensive than buying them at the store and SO much yummier because they are fresh. It's also nice to support local farmers. In any case, We went to Siemer's farm, and it turned out they were having a Strawberry festival at the same time. Strawberries were 80 cents a pound and they were SOO yummy. We invited all of Mitchell's family to come along and we had a good time. We didn't get as much strawberries as we would have liked due to the little kiddos, so we stopped at a a farm on the way out and bought some pre-picked, sliced, and cleaned strawberries. They made some REALLY good strawberry smoothies and didn't last long!
After you get to the farm and get a box/basket for picking fruit, you take a train (pulled by a tractor)to the strawberry fields which Eventide LOVED. She was upset that we had to get off the train when we got the fields, so when the train/tractor came back around, Mitchell took her on to it again (for those of you who don't know, Eventide LOVES trains!).
