Pickin' "Strawbabies"

Yesterday we took the girls to pick strawberries at a local farm and they had a ball! They both got to carry their own bucket and were excited to get out in the field and see the "strawbabies," as they like to call them. Both of them had fun eating while we picked, but Abbie definitely won the prize. Everytime I found a nice one I would tell her to put it in her basket. Instead, she would say, "that's a nice one" and put the whole thing in her mouth! At one point I turned around and all I could see was the burr coming out of her mouth. She must have eaten half a bucket while we were out there! When we were done both girls were covered with juice and their hands and face were bright red...what a mess! The farm also made homemade ice cream, so we treated them after we were done picking. They loved there Chocolate Covered Banana, and Andy and I enjoyed Strawberry Cheesecake and Banana Pudding ice cream...yummm! I'm sure we'll be heading back again. Here are some pictures of our day.

Do they still sell Axion or Biz? That's what I used to get the cherry stains out of Chris and Sean's clothes after cherry picking.

Looks like you all had a great time! ~Aunt Barbie~
