Strawberries for the pickin'

Jason was off last Friday, so we took the kids to the Strawberry Patch. This is the same farm we went to last year to pick strawberries and also to get a pumpkin in Oct. When I took them in Oct. we were disappointed to see that the petting zoo was temporary closed but thankfully it was open on Friday. So here are some pictures of us picking.

Maddie did a really good job this year. Last year she didn't really understand that we only wanted the nice, big, red ones but this year she had a good eye. Even Jonas found some good ones. LOL!!!

We started out at the beginning of a row and of course moved on down as we picked but Jonas wasn't interested in following us so he just stayed at the start of the row. We kept our eye on him but at one moment he was just playing in the dirt then the next he had a strawberry in each hand. And of course he had to be all messy, squeezing it as he ate it.
We were all tickled to see him doing this even some of the other follow pickers. When Jason asked Jonas if it was good, he nodded yes and wanted to share.(picture #2) I'm so glad I thought to dress the kids in red/drk. pink.

Here's a few pictures of all of us at the patch though not very good. (You know there are a lot more pictures taken now with two kids but a lot less worth showing. Almost never can we get a picture with all 4 of us looking and smiling at the same moment. But we still try.)


Here's a picture of a very cute, handsome strawberry. I wanted one of his sister but by this point she was tired, hungry and irritable.



I just had to add this after I went back and looked at last years pictures. What a coincidence!!! Cute!! Too Funny!!!


Also here is a clip that we took of the kids playing with the animals. Sorry it's kinda long and it will take a while to upload but watch it if you want. Either way, go pickin' and enjoy 'em!!!
