Strawberry Pickin'

Last week we took Brayden & Bailey to a local strawberry patch to pick strawberries.

We went first thing that morning before it got too hot...but the sun was still blazin' on us in that open field. This was their first time picking strawberries as well as mine. We were only expecting to fill up one bucket. We should have known better. They walked right up and grabbed themselves each a bucket right away. We had to pay based on the weight so we were thinking since they both had a bucket, we would let them fill up 1/2 of their bucket and then combine them all in one bucket instead of filling up 2. Well, that didn't happen. Brayden & Bailey had so much fun that they filled both their buckets right up and it didn't take long at all. There was no stopping our 'lil strawberry pickers.

We walked around and looked at all the colorful plants before we started picking.

And we're off to pick...

 I told Bailey to stand beside Brayden so I could take their picture...
so she stood in front of him. lol

Brandon had to show us how it's done. :)'

These 2 were ready to pick every strawberry insight.

Brandon & Brayden had their own row while Bailey & I had our own.

It didn't take long before Bailey wanted to pick with her daddy & brother.

Their buckets were pretty heavy but they still insisted on carrying them themselves.

They finally let us help them...

but they still had to have their hand on the bucket, too.

We had sooo much fun picking strawberries. I can't wait to do it again next year!!
