A Pickin' We Shall Go

I loaded up Buttercup & Sunshine and headed here...

This was Emma's berry first pick of the day...

And into the bucket it went.

The berries were just beautiful and GIGANTIC! I think we went a bit earlier in the season this year, so it was much less picked over.

We had this little guy in tow, and he's mobile now, so I set my expectations pretty low for the morning.

It didn't take him long to figure out that leaning out of the wagon+grabbing something red=something pretty darn delicious.

Miss Emma did a great job at filling her bucket.

I was relying on her for most of our pickings...

Mainly because I was dealing with this little guy.

Oh my goodness did he eat some strawberries. Thank heavens I thought to bring his bib.

Attempt 1 at a "together photo."

This is my favorite shot of the day...

Needless to say, Sunshine enjoyed his pickins.

That might just be an understatement.

We met friends at the farm, which is always fun...

And here's attempt #2 at a "together photo." Photoshop anyone?

I gave up and let him do his thing. My what a difference a year makes. This was our trip to the farm last year. Our little buddy was just two months old then :)

We finished up our morning with a couple of touristy photo ops...

Together Photo Attempt #3...a no go. again.

Emma ended her outing with sausage on a stick, while I used every wipe known to existence to clean Sunshine up. I went home with two buckets of fresh strawberries, homegrown veggies, and two of the berry best kids, complete with little red-stained lips. No jam this year....we ate them all! We can't wait to go back next year...or maybe I can convince Rob to go with us this season :)
