Today Grandpa flew in to visit for a few days. After we picked him up we headed out to Brighton to “Berry Patch Farm” to pick some strawberries. I had a hard time remembering we were going to a farm and not the zoo. As we were parking Grandma asked if we were ready to get some strawberries and Autumn said, “No Grandma, strawberries at the store.”
After we found out what to do, we got our baskets and loaded up on the wagon to get a ride out to the strawberry fields.
Here we go. We had to hunt for the red strawberries because most of them were picked. We still found lots, but they were small. (but still yummy!)
Autumn, do you have your basket?
Where are your strawberries? Hey, what’s dripping from your chin?
See I only have a few strawberries right now. I need to get more!
Ryland, come over here and get some.
Ryland wanted to go over to the other row and find some!
We tried to take a picture of the 3 of us together, but Mom wouldn’t get out of the way.
Now look at my basket. It’s almost full!
Since my basket is almost full you should put your strawberries in your mom’s basket Ryland.
Autumn, come pick this one!
We wandered over and picked a basket of blackberries too. Then we waited for the tractor to come back and get us.
While Mom and Grandpa went inside to pay we waited on the rocking chairs on the porch.
I’m not sure what was going on in these set of pictures so I’m sharing them all for you to decide. Here’s the story I’m making up.
“Hey Ryland, can you pull your lip down like this?” “I dunno, let me try.”
“Hey, that was kinda fun!”
“If you put your finger on your lip and move it up and down it makes funny noises.”
“Huh? How are you doing that?” “Watch silly, it’s like this.”
“Oh, I got it it.” “Hey Ryland, someone is watching us. We should chill out with the finger stuff!”
“Say cheese and look cute for the camera. Maybe they’ll go away.” “Wait, I almost have this lip music thing down.”
“Simon said to touch your nose not you lips!”
“Oh, this thing up here. I get those mixed up all the time!” “Hey, I think there’s a booger on my finger. Ewww!”
“Put it in you mouth, then they won’t try to wipe us clean.” “Ok, but it’s kinda gross.”
Did you make up your own story? After the farm we decided to head to a restaurant for lunch. It sure was hard work picking all those strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries! Can’t wait to eat them-YUMMY!!!
