Strawberry Patch

Our play group had a fun time visiting the local strawberry farm this morning.  There is a lot of fun stuff to do, and it is super affordable.  Because we had a group, we got to do all of the fun activities for only $6 a child!  The first thing we did was pick strawberries.  Each child got a pint-sized container to fill with berries.

Most of C's strawberries ended up with thumbprints in them from her grip as she plucked them from the plant.

B, however, was quite professional with his picking and focused on the largest and best berries.  I love this kid!!

After berry picking, the kids (and mommies) hopped on the trailer for a hay ride through the pecan and peach tree orchard.

After the hay ride, the kids got to feed the cows and goats.  B was pretty brave this year and fed the goats from his hand.

C pretty much just dumped her handfuls of food on the animals' heads. 

Finally, they each got a small cup of homemade strawberry ice cream.  While I did not get a picture, I assure you it was delicious and the kids ate every last bite!  Shockingly enough, I actually managed to get a really great picture of the two of them before the activities started.



Happy Spring!!!!!
