Picking Strawberries

Wow look at me, two blog posts in one day.  I was going to wait and do this post tomorrow but I was too excited about it, so everyone will have to read both posts today.  I noticed that the strawberry sign was on the side of the road a couple of weeks ago and thought that would be fun to go pick some this year.  I see it every year but I have never gone to see exactly where it is, but both of my girls LOVE strawberries and those strawberries in the little containers at the grocery store are going to break us!  Hayden has always loved strawberries and now Gracie loves them too, I am so happy that she is finally eating much better, she is actually starting to eat lots of fruits and some vegetables at least it is something besides chicken nuggets!  Anyway, since it was a nice afternoon I thought after we got done with ballet we would pick some strawberries.  When I mentioned it to Hayden, her eyes lit up and she got so excited and well Gracie was excited but really didn't know why!  They were both squealing in the back of the car the whole way there.  This strawberry place is just right up the road from us, so it is going to be very convenient for the next couple of weeks or at least until June when they close down.  It is a small place and looks like it is someone's back yard, but it was perfect for our first time.  We were the only people there and Hayden really did enjoy it.  She picked the whole bucket by herself, and Gracie tried to steal a few to eat, I had to keep a close eye on her.  Next on the list is blueberries because those cost a lot of money at the grocerty store too and Gracie ate a whole thing of them this morning.  I guess she is going to love blueberries as much as Aunt Kim does!  I had a great time with my girls this afternoon and as I update this blog for the second time today, Hayden is watching her new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and Gracie is taking a nap, hopefully a good one. 

Mommy look at all these strawberries and Gracie is trying to figure out what is in the bucket:

Wow Mommy these are some big strawberries:
