Frawberry Picking: Good Clean Fun

Whew, what a morning!
Jen and her friend, Alina had the great idea of taking their 5 collective children strawberry picking at a local farm.
Turns out strawberries, as well as the act of picking them, can be very messy.  Especially when you add in a ditch full of water.
Luke and Emma hold hands on the hay ride, just so they wouldn't be scared.
"I picking frawberries!"

The owner told us we could eat as many as we wanted while we were picking.
Mia took them up on the offer in a big way.
Luke pauses to show us the strawberry he's about to eat in one bite.
"Oh ya, watch this!"
Anna peers out from under her sunhat
Still seems like a pretty good idea, right?
Mia eyes the ditch full of water and makes a run for it.
Looks like she sat in it long enough for her diaper to absorb a substantial amount of ditch water.
But, whatever,  Not going to stop her from picking frawberries.
Double fisted frawberry picking!

We couldn't believe how many bright red berries there were.
A rare moment of twin-cooperation
Mikey prepares to dump Mommy's hard work.
Mia eyes some sandy dirt.
And throws fist-fulls of it into the air.
The strawberries were so yummy that Mia was licking them off of her chin while I worked to remove the clothing, mud, and dirt, from her little body.
