STRAWBERRIES

Before I get started I just wanted to share what Megan had said about this picture, she said that "Mommy you look silly, I look pretty, Bryson looks pretty, and Daddy looks silly." Now on to our day!

Saturday we went up to Huber Farms in Indiana and picked yummy strawberries. We went on the perfect day since it was overcast, it still was hot and humid, but we didn't have the sun beating down on us.


Here is our day of picking strawberries...

PICKING

There were so many good strawberries to pick that we just couldn't stop. Megan was doing really well at picking good ones, she did like to get little ones, she said that they were for Bryson. Bryson loved to pick up the straw and throw it, pick the leaves off the plants and then finally realized what the little red things were they we were picking...

so he ate it! ALL of it! He started dry heaving after eating it, after that we made sure we gave him the strawberries with the stems off.

We all enjoyed EATING the strawberries, but only a couple. I told Megan before we got there that she could only eat 1 strawberry while we were picking them, and told her that if she ate 2 it would be stealing. She did good not eating them out in the field but on the ride back Josh started eating them since they were SO good, and she had to join in.
PLAYING AROUND

After picking strawberries we walked around the farm, bought some yummy strawberry bread & fed the coy fish. Bryson also loved the talking tree.

One last picture...


I love this one, we gave Bryson this strawberry on the tractor ride back to the store and he just held on to it, he did not want to eat it. I still don't know where it went if he eventually ate it or if he threw it somewhere, but I love how he is so carefully holding it in his hand. He was probably sick of eating them since he ate so many while we were picking them.

Your kids are a lot younger than I was when I had to pick strawberries. And I thought my parents were bad!!! Looks like a fun filled family outing!! I hope a few of those berries made it home for some freezer jam.
