The Strawberry Patch

It is strawberry season and we are lucky enough to have a strawberry patch just a couple miles away from the house! We have never been strawberry pickin' so I couldn't wait to get out there with Eli and take some pictures! It was a perfect day for pickin'. Not too hot and not too sunny. Before Eli came along Milan and I were always out and about doing things like this and would say to each other "won't it be fun to do this when we have kids!" Well, sometimes it is very surreal that Eli is here and we are out doing family stuff now! It is so much fun making these sweet little memories as a family.

"Ooooh Tata, what's that in the bucket? Can I touch it?"

"This is sort of squishy. I think it might be fun to see what happens if I give it a little squeeze."

Eli did end up giving the strawberries a squeeze. Of course the inexperienced Mama that I am didn't bring an old ugly burp cloth for clean up. Oh no, I bring the nice embroidered one. Needless to say the burp cloth and Eli's outfit have been soaking in Simple Green since Saturday. I didn't get to photograph what happened next since I was too busy cleaning up smooshy strawberries. :) I'm sure you get the idea.

"Me & Mama pickin' strawberries. This is fun!"
