Strawberry Picking

In honor of Spring Break, our MOPS group planned a few outings this week. Today was strawberry picking with the MOPS from Niceville (Nadia's group), so it worked out perfect! There's a farm the next town over from us that has strawberry picking for $1.25/lb. The kids had a special...a pint of strawberries (picked by them) and a strawberry "yogurt" (they said it was yogurt but it was actually more like ice cream, yum!). Nolan loved it! He had a hard time getting the concept because the berries were actually kind of tough to pick. So his job was to put the strawberries in the basket. And of course run rampant, which he did FANTASTICALLY! He was everywhere. There were random mom's grabbing him and bringing him back to me...how and when did he get so fast? Next time we go I think we'll bring Daddy so he's easier to contain. But we had a really nice time. I am sure that my Cheyenne friends don't want to hear this, but the weather was fantastic. Mid 70's and sunny. After that we went to a lunch and did a little downtown shopping. Then Tristan came over briefly and helped tire Nolan out before his nap. Here are some pictures of our morning:

My view of Nolan most of the day...his back as I chased him.

Hmm...so I am supposed to pick a red berry? I don't know about this...

Hmm, looks good enough to eat...dare I?

Oh yes, it is yummy!

I'm stuffing my face with this strawberry before mom can really think this through and take it away!

Okay, Mom, this grass is taller, but I have a strawberry. HERE I COME!Uh-oh, I am going soooo fast:

Whew, close call, but I caught myself:

Abby & Nolan:Nolan in a BOOSTER seat at lunch...and he stayed put!

Momma & a SMILING Nolan, holy cow!

edited to add that Miss Cheyna took this fantastic photo! She's awesome!
