This morning we went to The Cottle Strawberry Farm with Erin, Callie, and Chloe to pick fresh strawberries! It’s only in business a few months a year, and I am so excited about doing fun things like this with my little toddler!
It really has just been in the last couple of days that James is getting comfortable walking outside by himself. Even learning to walk in shoes has been a transition! And I don’t blame him for being cautious; the boy falls every 30 seconds.
When we got there, I was thinking James might whine to be held the entire time, but he actually did great! We stuck together in the beginning until he got a feel for things.
The bucket seemed to hold most of the entertainment, though.
(I was standing there talking and looked down to see James had the bucket stuck on his head. Luckily there weren’t strawberries in it yet.)
Meanwhile, Callie went to the Strawberry Farm for one reason, and that was to leave with as many strawberries as possible. This girl was on a mission.
After a while, James no longer needed me. He had his strawberries, his bucket, and his friends.
It was funny to see James try to pick up the bucket of strawberries. It was so hard for him to do, but he was very determined to do it. It’s a reminder of how little these kids actually are.
He finally got it off the ground though, and might be sore for a few days. (I LOVE this picture.)
Erin, Callie, and Chloe, thanks for going to The Strawberry Farm with us. We had a great time and look forward to many more summer outings!
We had so much fun! Thanks for the fun activity and were looking forward to MANY more of them soon!
