Strawberry Fields Forever

On Saturday we packed up the little one and headed off to North Hampton to visit Aunt Mira who just started an MSW program at Smith. Hana and Niko were also coming from NY for the rendezvous so it was a real cousin/Auntie fest. We arrived around 11:30 and kicked off the visit with a picnic in the yard of the lovely house Mira is renting for the summer. Fueled by beets, garlic scapes and swiss chard, we headed off to Herrel's Ice Cream parlor to meet Hana and Niko and gorge on ice cream sundaes. After everyone felt sufficiently sick we decided to cure the fructose overdose with some some fresh air and exercise (sort of) and headed off for some berry picking. The strawberry season was coming to an end and the raspberry season was just kicking off, so we hit it at just the right time. The photos below document the fun we had frolicking in the fields and basking in the cousin love. Two flats of strawberries and 6 pints of raspberries later, we ended the day with another eating orgy, this time at Bub's BBQ in Sunderland.
