Stahl Visit - Strawberry Picking

We finally got to go strawberry picking! Wednesday brought us out to the strawberry patches...I can't even tell you which farm it was because the one we planned to use had their fields closed because they were picked clean! The next farm down the road still had some, but we definitely had to work for our treats. "Kinda like hunting for Easter eggs!" is I believe what Jeanette told Karter. :) That was so true. With all of us able to help we quickly filled two heaping baskets full of strawberries, despite the fact that Lorelei obviously ate way more than she picked. :) Then while Sarah and Jeanette tried out picking some fresh peas, Lorelei enjoyed some time with the farmer's dog who was amazingly tolerant of her and also loved the sandbox they had for her to play in. We finished that adventure with a trip to Red Robin for lunch and got to enjoy the outdoor patio. :)
