Strawberry Picking

On the way to Addie's preschool, I pass produce stand that has been closed all winter. On Tues, they put out a sign that the U-Pick Strawberry patch would open today, from 8-5. Some of our friends joined us in picking (and eating a lot) of berries! It was SSSOOOOO much fun this time since Alden could walk, we were with friends, and the weather was perfect!

All the big kids ready to go! Aren't they the cutest bunch?

A group shot with the Mommies and Madelyn! Can you tell it was windy?

Addie reaching for just the right berry- you can see Alden doing the same thing! The major difference- Addie's ended up in her bucket, Alden's, in his mouth.

Quality control!

Attempting to keep some berries in his bucket- it didn't last long....

Yes, he's eating it stem, leaves and all!

Addie was super proud of her bucket- that she filled herself. She carried it all the way to the check-out!

Not so sure he wants to leave the strawberry field... Notice the empty bucket....
