Strawberry Picking At The Farm!

This week we got to go to the farm with Abby's preschool class to see the animals and go strawberry picking!

 Abby & Lilly with their teacher, Mrs. Jones.

First we got to see the animals - we waved "hi" to the piggy.

The poor piggy wanted way more attention that that - he was crestfallen that the girls kept petting the goat and not him!

The owner of the farm caught one of her chickens so the kids could pet it.

Abigail is an experienced chicken petter! :)

Then it was time to pick strawberries!

Abigail went to it with a vengeance.

Lilly & Bean picking berries.

We talked about what color the berries needed to be for us to pick them - red all over!

It didn't take Abby long to fill up her box!

One proud berry picker!

All done!

After all that hard work, we spent some time in the farm's play area.

They had a ginormous sandbox!

Abigail, "the other Lily," Lilly, and Emillie.

Cousins playing together.

Patting the resident puppy with another teacher, Mrs. Sowa.

The play area also had a saddle on a barrel suspended with springs and rope. I was surprised at how brave Abby was on it!

Just as I took this picture, she yelled out "Yee-haw!" :)

Abby and Lilly also played on the swingset.

Double swing - just perfect for cousins!

But it didn't take them long to find the slide! :)

All in all, it was a lovely day! :)
