The girls and I took our first visit to the strawberry patch this morning. We've been wanting to go but have just been busy with other things for a while. So, we went - just the 3 of us. It was fun! It's rare that we do anything like that with just us girls because we are usually with friends. We really enjoy being with our friends and I think it makes life sweeter to share fun times with others. But today was nice. It was low key and I just let the girls do their own thing.
We started picking strawberries and didn't get very far with it. Avery picked about 7-8 and she wanted to move on to the animals and homemade ice cream. So, before we quit, we let Riley pick a couple berries herself. They made it to her container without being squished, but then she stood there and picked up each one and squeezed the mess out of them. YUCK. Luckily it was only 3 of them...that could have been M-E-S-S-Y!
We moved on over to the homemade ice cream...oh YUMMO!!! Avery picked strawberry with sprinkles, Riley had vanilla with sprinkles and I choose cookies and cream. :) It was fabulous! Riley made a big mess, but we were outside, so who cares.
After the ice cream, we went over to see the animals. Avery remembered that last year we saw a bunch of dogs in their cages so we went looking for them. This year we only saw one little guy...he looked so pitiful but Avery said it was because he didn't have any friends. :( I said it was because it was hot.
The girls found some goats to feed hay to. I am not the biggest fan of outdoor animals...so it's really hard for me to step back and watch them pet and try to feed random barn animals, but I did. I mean, you just wash your hands afterward and try to keep everyone's fingers out of their nose and mouth in the meantime, right?? (If you know my girls - that's a full time job! haha)
Well, it was a great time. The girls didn't want to leave BUT I can only take so much stentch of a barn - I am a city girl. Maybe we'll go back to see the baby goats that should be born any day. :) We'll see.
