Strawberry Pickin's

I hope to get pics up on this when I return from training. Sunday, I took Ariel and Linzy strawberry picking. It was fabulous! We initially wanted to only to one tray, but we got it finished in no time, so I went and got another one. Linzy was initally a big help, (didn't eat any and didn't go tromping through the rows.) She carried the berries to the tray and even managed to pick some nice red ones. Like i said, the first tray went fast.

When I got back with the sencond one, we slowed down a bit. Ariel and I let Linzy eat a couple fresh strawberries as we picked them and of course, we indulged a few as well. Linzy soon became covered in the juices, her hands and face stained pink and her sleeves and shirt... even more so, but she loved it! Linzy also decided to see how soft some berries were by squishing them in her hands and walking through the rows (not between them) to go look at berries that caught her eye. And of course, right before we get up to leave, she does her business in her diaper. (lucky me)

We got the two trays paid for and went home. Linzy, after walking in the door, grabbed her pacifier and baby doll, climbed the stairs and went to her bed all by herself and without anyone telling her it was nap time.(she was of course still wearing stain clothes) Poor baby was pooped and we had to go visit with Ariel's grandparents yet. When we got back, Linzy slept at the granparents for an hour, I spent a little time cleaning and slicing up half of them before i had to leave to drive out to somerset for training. Ariel's mom had the rest done before Ariel got home from work that night.(she had a evening shift)

A great day outside and we got to eat strawberries, a nice weekend.
