Strawberry Picking

I LOVE strawberries.  I could eat them any time of the day and when they are in the house I do.  Today we went strawberry picking at Wood's Orchard in Hampton.  We had so much fun!  We started out on a hayride out to the field and spent a good while picking berries.  It took Caelyn just a few minutes to discern the difference between green and red, and once she did we were off with a bang.  She is a very good helper and will make a great big sister.  About half way down the first row she figured out that only did we pick them, but she could eat them.  She was the messiest kid in the bunch when we were done.  When we were done picking and sampling Caelyn went over and started helping Tiffany, a task she took VERY seriously.

I got 7 pounds of strawberries, partly to freeze for when it is no longer strawberry season.  I am excited about all the possibilities to come :)

Here are some pictures of Caelyn's strawberry eating adventures.


She shoved the whole strawberry in her mouth the first time around.


Looking for her next sample.


Shoving it all in there.


I squished it mommy...


Still good though
