Strawberry Picking

This morning we went strawberry picking at Homestead Farm.
Wesley did great picking the strawberries at first but once he had one bite he lost interest in putting more in the box. Lydia picked some strawberries but not as many as Wesley did.
I enjoyed picking the strawberries and I wouldn't have minded picking more of them.
After the thrill of berry picking wore off, the kids ran around for a little while.
Lydia took her hairbow out and her hair got a little crazy.
Yum! These strawberries are so good!
The kids enjoyed the wagon ride to and from the strawberry field. That box has 11 1/2 pounds of strawberries in it.
The kids liked petting the goats.
These little pigs were so cute.
It was a fun morning. Wesley is already asking if we can go back and pick cherries next month.
So far we have eaten a lot of strawberries today and made a strawberry pie and strawberry sherbet.

Looks like you guys had a great time too -- what time were you there? We'll have to come back and check out the pigs. Did you find the gnats as bad as I did?
