Strawberry Pickin'

We ventured to the strawberry patch for the first time ever last week. We've seriously never been strawberry picking which is a kind of strange, I think, especially considering that I'm pretty sure there was a little patch right down the road from us practically right in our neighborhood in Missouri. I guess maybe we were really focused on apples and pumpkins?

Anyways, we went, and the girls loved it! Lydia ate so many strawberries while picking I was afraid she'd explode, or at the very least, turn into a strawberry (hee, hee). Her mouth looked like she was channeling Twilight so stained was it with juice:

Even Iris got in on the eating action:

And they were both great picking sidekicks:

(silly Lolls, sneaking bites when she thinks I'm not looking!)

We definitely want to do this again. Aw...our first Nebraska tradition. And it looks like it may be sooner rather than later considering the fact that I left the box of strawberries sitting on top of our refrigerator, got distracted and forgot about them until about three days later. Not a pretty sight. Oops!
