Strawberry Pickin'!

I've always wanted to take the girls to a farm and pick something.  It's one of those things that makes you feel like a real stay at home mom, you know? :)  When I heard that there was a local strawberry farm, I knew I had to take my strawberry-loving girls there for a visit!

Froberg Farms, I hope you are ready for some super- excited strawberry pickers! 

I had been missing my "real" camera for about 2 months, so after finding it before this visit, I may have gone a tad crazy with taking pictures. :) 

Have a Berry Good Day?  We sure did!!

Landrie said this was one of her favorite parts. :)

Taking off at a run!  It kind of reminded me of an Easter egg hunt!

 

They had gorgeous trees!

At 4 years old, Landrie was at the PERFECT age for this!  She was totally in her element.

Tatem had a ball too!  She picked great berries!

I wasn't sure exactly how they grew, but each plant had strawberries at every stage from flowers to tiny green berries to the ripe ones.

 

"Look at this one!!"

Love my girls!

Next year we'll have to get Harper a bucket too!  We finished up our picking and headed to the little farmer's market to weigh our berries and shop.  After a picnic lunch and a fresh, fried apple pie, we headed out to a little field with a playground.

Look at my big 4 and a half year old!!

This was Landrie telling me to cover my eyes and turn around...

...and the resulting flower gifts!  Tatem just picked the heads of them, so I got a handful.  They are so sweet!

I pulled Harper out of the Moby wrap before we headed home.  Since she slept the entire time we were picking, she was in a great mood.  Of course I had to take a few more pictures!  Harper is 5.5 months old, and such a doll!

 I love this one of our HAPPY girl!!

 

Yay!  Everyone is smiling!!  Wait!  Harper is eating a leaf!!?!  Poor third baby. :)

Sisters!

 

Annnnnnd...they are DONE! 

 

We took home LOTS of heavenly strawberries and the girls have been eating them non-stop!
