Last Friday we went Strawberry Picking. Unfortunately on our drive there, I realized I forgot my camera so you will have to use your imagination.
It has been raining quite alot for Winnipeg so the Strawberry farm was pretty wet. Even though they put straw down, there has been so much water, there was quite a bit of mud and standing water. Anyways, it was a beautiful morning with a slight breeze so the mosquitoes were at bay. So we had a great morning of picking.
Andrew and Natalie were moving at super speed. I had only picked a quarter of a pail and Natalie walks towards me with a filled bucket of strawberries. Wow! Since they were done so soon, they went to play and guess what, Andrew fell into the mud hands first and then Matthew, hands and knees. So I sent them to the edge of the strawberry patch to wait. While they were waiting for us, they decided to play in the ditch and climb up the mud dike. Of course they were covered in mud and all of them had to strip before I would let them in the van. I brought them extra shoes, never thought that I would have to bring extra clothes… Here is a picture of their boots when we got home.
Needless to say the kids had a blast and ate tons of strawberries…
