Strawberry Picking

Strawberry season came and went so fast this year. We went 2-3 times a week from beginning to the end of the season. I think cool days and tons of rain ended the season earlier than expected. (boo) We found out just yesterday that the fields are pretty much closed. Only one farm that we could find still has You-Pick strawberries, and they are only expected to be able to be picked until Friday. We chose this field to pick from most days since they don't spray chemicals or pesticides on their plants.
Charis didn't eat nearly as many this year. She was more concerned with finding ladybugs (which were there in multitudes) and giving them our freshly picked berries. She was convinced that's what they wanted to eat. :)
Atalie could be found doing one of two things: tripping or eating. She ate the berries stem and all.
Can't wait 'til blueberry picking time!
