Adventures in Ramona

This morning, we had a delightful adventure with Alana and Cris, our cousins-in-law, and their daughter Avery. We met up early at what we thought was going to be a berry picking farm outside of Ramona. Unfortunately, the farm burned in the 2007 fires and has not re-opened. So we moved on to a plan "B": we played at a park with the kids.

Cris took out the croquet set, and we enjoyed a fun (and warm) morning at the park. It is always fun to catch up with our only relatives in So Cal.

After saying our goodbyes, we drove in different directions back home. On the way out of town, we found a sign for an organic farm that had a stand open, so we decided to drive by. Just our luck, they had a u-pick strawberry patch for $1 a quart! So we called Cris and Alana and they came back to pick with us.

Then the four of us enjoyed a lunch together at Rubios before heading down the hill and going home.

We topped it off tonight with strawberry smoothies for dessert!


Not very thrilling videos, but we enjoyed picking together:
