Our friends decided to meet up at a little strawberry farm near our house so the kids could pick strawberries. Even though we went in the morning, the sun was blazing and the humidity was unbearable! Despite all that, the kids had so much fun.
Alex and Amelia both grasped the concept of picking the strawberries quickly. However, Alex soon realized it was more worth his while to eat the strawberries rather than place them in the basket. Once his little belly was full of strawberries, he continued to pick them, only to squish each one in his hand. Once the poor strawberry was squished to his liking, he threw it on the ground. In the end, he left a trail half-eaten and squished strawberries for us to find our way back!
Amelia loved picking the strawberries, but nobody could touch her basket. She had to have control of the basket at all times, ha ha. She got a little freaked out when she got strawberry juice on her fingers, but other than that she did awesome.
When Alex kept eating strawberries and Amelia kept telling him they needed to be washed and needed to go into the basket. This frustrated her very much. Also, Amelia kept asking about picking pancakes. I'm not sure why she would think that! She seemed confused when I told her there were no pancakes on the farm. Toddlers are so silly!
After our visit to the farm, we went to our favorite park for a picnic and some playtime. It was such a gorgeous day.
The strawberries were absolutely delicious! We ended up with about five pounds, but it only lasted 2 days at our house. They were so yummy and the kids had so much fun that we are going back to the farm next week.
Yup, Alex ran off quite a few times!

They taste as good as they look!
We had a picnic afterwards at Liberty Park. Here are the kids in their favorite play area which Amelia calls "the tunnels." I think they just like it because I'm too tall to get in there.
