(Attempted) strawberry picking

As has been our tradition since moving here, we went to Atkinson's Farm for strawberry picking.  Unfortunately, this was not the best time to go because all the Spring Break pickers had gotten almost all the the berries and then it had rained and rotted all the rest of them.  We managed to find a few, but no great ones.  The lady working in the store felt sorry for our pathetic amount of not very great berries and didn't even charge us for them!

About half way through our picking, Leighton started to complain of a headache.  We thought he might just be dehydrated and kept encouraging him to drink water.  As we drove to our next destination, he wasn't hungry for a snack and said the headache wasn't getting better.  We suggested to just go home, but he wanted to still go to the German Festival we were planning to check out.  We wandered for a while and got Riley some lunch, but even after seeing all the various tempting foods, Leighton wasn't hungry for anything.  We knew he must be sick!  Roy took him back to the car while Riley & I waited in line for some pretzels to take on the ride home.  By the time we were home, Leighton definitely had a fever.  Poor guy.  Hopefully our strawberry picking is more fruitful next year and we will try the German Festival again!
