Strawberries strawberries strawberries...

Last weekend John and I took some two of his nephews and one of his nieces to pick strawberries. We went out to a farm north of Gainesville and picked berries. The morning was nice and cool and the berries were weed and bug free. All in all a pretty sweet deal.

More about March

John worked really hard last week even though it was his spring break so we took a little break on Saturday. We met our friends Jenn and Travis in St Augustine. We went to dinner and the beach with them and got to have a pretty good time. It was a little foggy and chilly when we first got to the beach around 5 in the evening and so most people were already gone for the day. After we had been there a little while we got used to the temperature and had the beach to ourselves to play. It turned out being a really nice day.

For St. Patrick's Day, I made a green dinner. My mom used to make us green eggs and ham for St Patty's Day so I decided to make us a green dinner too. I made green lemonade and green chicken enchiladas. To be honest it was a little gross looking and I think John was a little disgusted by my attempt at being festive. He asked me about 5 times "it's just food coloring, right?"

It still tasted good though I promise!

March Madness

I know I promised that I would be better about updating and but so far it hasn't really happened. The first weekend of March John and I went letterboxing at several parks in Gville. For those of you not familiar with letterboxing, you get clues online and then use them to find letterboxes hidden in your area. It's nice because you get outside and in to areas of parks that you would probably never visit. This is a pic of us letterboxing: The next weekend was spring break. I went to GA to visit my family and John stayed home to work. I got to do some canning with my mom. We made lots of strawberry jam which turned out SO good! Nothing is better than homemade jam!

I look pretty rough because it got super hot making the jam. After making jam all morning my dad helped me make my Pinewood Derby car. Since John and I are the Cub Scout leaders in our ward we get to make cars to race for the derby. My dad showed me how to use all the tools and then let me do everything by myself. In all of the years of school projects and such, this is the first time he ever left me alone in his workshop. We will see how it actually does come race day...
