Will Work For Food

Ahh, the childhood rite of strawberry picking! It's only natural that children, who are so good at picking (and eating) things, are drawn to this ritual . . .


Look at our hard working team! (shown here with friend Heidi) A couple of minutes later, Mikala will complain that her basket is "too hebby" and Mommy will have to carry it the rest of the way . . .


Sara is shown here eating a strawberry that's apparently a little sour, but she will eat it anyway because she is a human garbage disposal. This is why she has to be strapped to Mommy's back for strawberry picking--at least until she's out of the dirt-eating phase . . .


Claire apparently doesn't care that her parents take it upon themselves to dress her like a New Kids on the Block groupy. She was a pretty good worker.
So, that's a sampling of our recent strawberry picking trip. Hopefully we tricked the kids into experiencing a little work.

Those baskets look considerably bigger than the ones Mom and Dad got for us when we used to going picking as kids... Um I think we got jipped... I need to see my shrink

Strawberry picking is so fun! More importantly, though, the berries taste much better when you can eat them fresh off the vine...absolute bomb! So glad you could go! Jealous!

that is cute. I want to go strawberry picking. We did it two years ago - I went alone with the twins strapped in carseats...this year Rob will have to go with me as no one is small enough to be strapped down and all are big enough to ... well, get in trouble. Where did you go? (email me that answer - I won't check back here bethnrob@gmail.com)
