We had such an amazing time on Thursday. We got up early and headed to Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville. Gizdich is a big farm with berries and apples and pies and lots of fun stuff. We got there just after it opened and started off picking strawberries. Anna and Matthew had so much fun. Anna was actually good at getting the berries and Matthew was really good at eating them. Later I made strawberry syrup and jam with them.
After the strawberries, which were plentiful, we headed to the boysenberry patch. There weren't as many of these but the kids were just as enthusiastic. We got enough to fill a gallon bag in the freezer.
After spending the morning picking berries, we headed to the barn's eating area. There were lots of picnic benches and a big sandbox with riding toys to play on.
We had such a nice day together.
