Strawberry Picking!

We had a little family outing today that was a blast!

This morning after Adelyn's first nap we headed out to Pick and Pick farms to round up some delicious strawberries.



It was a beautiful day- BEAUTIFUL. We could tell the crop had been picked quite a bit but we still managed to leave with three pounds of strawberries. Here is Adelyn all geared up and ready to pick.



If you've never had a freshly picked strawberry, you are missing out on a great joy in life. They are soft, sweet, melt-in-your mouth delicious!



Adelyn figured this out really fast. After we gave her a taste she was grabbing for more. In fact, when we'd set her down so we could pick, she would take the liberty of picking her own. However, since she was limited to berries within her reach she often ended up with ones that were dried up and dead or ones that were still babies and not even red. I had to dig one out of her mouth that was the size of a marble and rock hard.



I'm not exaggerating when I say she probably had 25+ strawberries today. Don't worry- the berries we were picking were itty bitty but still, she had a lot!



I love this picture. Adelyn is covered in strawberry juice showing us she is "so big." Oh, and of course she was dressed appropriately with a strawberry dress for the occasion.
