Pickin' Strawberries

Last week I met my mom to go to the Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls. They have strawberries ready to pick. The kids had a great time.

The first thing we did was pick strawberries.




The kids did a great job finding ones that were just right.

Here's a picture of the strawberry plants.




We have been studying ladybugs, so it was fun to see real ones. I later learned that they are friends to the farmers. Their diet is the bugs (aphids) that like to eat the plants. Joshua discovered he has no fear of bugs. Ever since this picture, he lets bugs crawl on him. I have had to make sure he doesn't let spiders crawl on him.




A place to take pictures.




Then the petting zoo. Tabitha has no fear. She loved feeding them. Joshua let Gigi do it for him.



Tabitha summed it up well!
