:lovely day:

i think today was one of the best in awhile...besides last thursday. our days off have been very rewarding.

today we met up with the vivona's, from our church, for a morning of picking strawberries and enjoying the PERFECT carlsbad weather at the u-pick farm. i'll let the photos speak for themselves. it was a very enriching and feel-good time.

before our day up north, we walked to have breakfast and see uncle ralphie at the mission. blueberry cornmeal pancakes...yum!

needless to say, chloe was a gem today, charming us all.

it was a great way to spend the first day of summer.
