I've never gone strawberry picking before, but have always wanted to go. There somethings about eating strawberries that you hand picked yourself, they almost take better.
For the occasion I decided to put on a dress with some leggings which now I know wasn't the best idea because I kept on stepping on my dress as I got up to go to the next area.
When we got there I didn't think Toddler would be interested in picking strawberries. It looked a little boring for a 2 year old to really have fun. I actually regretted not taking my kindle to entertain him while my mom and I worked. To my surprise Toddler helped us pick the 'strawbabies', as he like to call them, but he also spent a lot of time bitting off the tops of them and then throwing the rest away. That's how he chooses to eat them and always has.
We loaded up 2 crates full of strawberries, bought a bumbleberry pie, had lunch and then went home to nap, but no one got to nap because Toddler now picks and chooses when he wants to nap. I still make him stay in his crib for about a 2 hour quite period. For some reason he loves his time in the crib and sang right through quite time.
hehe One of my favorite activities as a child was going strawberry picking!! I managed to even go with friends when we lived in Germany, and no matter where they come from, I agree, they are better off the vine!
