We were invited to go pick strawberries with some friends on Memorial Day. The boys (including Walter) had never been. We had a great time! The farm was only 15 minutes away and we got some great berries.
At first the boys were unsure of what to do, but they quickly caught on. I hadn't thought about the fact that I'd be trying to kneel on the ground and dig through these plants with my big belly. That was a sight!
Once the boys figured out they could sample the strawberries it was all over! We finally had to cut them off or they would've eaten everything we just picked before we even paid for them. Wes was eating strawberries so fast that I had to dig a stem out of his mouth because he inhaled it before I could get to him - ha!
So what are we going to do with them all? Not sure yet. Walter and I dipped a few in chocolate this evening after the kids were in bed - yum! I'm also googling simple jam recipes. I can be barefoot and pregnant making my own jam. Doesn't get more Little House on the Prairie than that!!!
We can't wait to go back next year!
