Spring Pickin’

April 17, 2008 by Elaine

Yesterday we went down to the farm with our playgroup to pick our own strawberries. That is after our lunch at McDonald’s. See, this farm is right smack dab in the middle of our city. But just for a little while you can feel like you are out in the country. Well, until you look up and see all the cars going by…

Anywho, we had a good time, despite the fact that it was quite windy. The B Man wasn’t too wild about the actual picking part because he didn’t want to get his hands dirty. How many of you have ever heard of a boy that doesn’t like dirt? Well, I’ve got one. He was all too happy for me to pick the berries while he held the basket. Here he is making sure that his hands aren’t too dirty (and a few other pics too.)He did pick the first one but that’s also when he discovered the dirt issue!

We had to hunt for them…

And here’s one of me and Little G, taken by my friend Natalie’s camera (because my batteries died!). Thanks girl!
Can you see the wind in our hair – I mean Golly it was windy!! So, we came home and ate a bunch of fresh strawberries and they were so good and sweet. The plan is to go back for blackberries in about a month. Yum!!

    Oh my. . . what a fun day! I can not wait for strawberry season here. We never got to take my oldest last year because the baby was too little at the time. Hopefully we will this year.

    stawberries in April? I need to move to Texas? We won’t have any until July at the earliest.

    And I have a boy who didn’t like getting dirty. Don’t worry they grow out of it!

    ok..you really need to tell B-man to “Suck it up and be a man!”

    j/k that is funny though that he doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. Good pictures, especially the one from that Natalie lady 😉 Not that I am biased or anything…
