3rd Annual Strawberry Picking Trip

On Wednesday, we went to the Chesterfield Berry Farm with our playgroup.  This is an annual tradition with our playgroup and it is always a really good time.  This year, Aunt Amy and Cora joined in on the fun.  We were a little nervous that the patch would be a mud pit because of all the rain, but it wasn't muddy at all and the weather was perfect.  The kids enjoyed the hayride to the patch, eating the delicous strawberries, a picnic lunch and playing in the corn shell pit.  Ellie skipped her morning nap so she was cranky on the hayride and in the patch.  She wanted me to hold her the entire time while she snacked on very juicy strawberries which made things a little tricky and very messy but we managed.  Madelyn had a blast with her friends and is already talking about going back next year!

Best Buddies!

Ellie wasn't too happy on the hayride!

Madelyn was all smiles and couldn't wait to get to the strawberry patch!

So excited to be with all of her friends!

Our sweet little Madelyn is 3 1/2 years old this week!

Me and my girls!

Ellie finally sat by herself towards the end which allowed me to snap some photos!  Ellie and I were COVERED in strawberry juice!  As usual, Madelyn only had a couple of strawberry spots on the back of her shirt.

Yummy!

Madelyn loved running around the patch!

My attempt at getting a photo of Madelyn and Ellie together!

The mess Ellie created on my clothes.  This picture doesn't even do it justice!

Cora ate all the strawberries that Amy picked.  This is what was left in their bucket on the hayride back!
