The Little Men's Big Adventures – Strawberry Pickin'

This year marked our third annual trip to the strawberry patch. I thought for sure Alex would be into picking the strawberries now that he's a little older. Turns out, just like in years past, he was only interested in eating them out of the two buckets Jerry worked to fill up.

He was interested in running up and down (and across) the rows with Charlotte Ann, however. They kept one another entertained when they weren't eating the berries.

Roo-bear decided that he wasn't going to miss out on the fun Alex was having – he enjoyed the fruits of Daddy's labor, too. =)

A few other highlights from this year's trip...
Snacking on kettle corn:

Alex taking his first turn behind the wheel:

...and Alex and Charlotte taking a stumble into "Platypus Pond." I have no pictures of the stumble because, well, it was a little chaotic. The kids couldn't see the edge of the pond because of how the grass grew over it. Charlotte went in first and managed to stop once she realized she had hit water. Alex, on the other hand, tripped when he stepped in and kind of did a roll onto his back. He kept his head out of the water, but the rest of him was soaked. That water was cold, and he cried a lot. Lucky for us, Charlotte let him borrow her spare set of clothes so that we could stop for lunch:

Big adventures happening all the time around these parts. =)
