Spoiled Rotman: Strawberry Picking!

Last week we got to go on a special trip with Nana and Lisa- to go strawberry picking! Nana loves loves loves strawberries, and there is nothing better than getting them fresher than fresh! Anna had just had some delicious fresh strawberries at the beach thanks to Bar-Bar, so she was pumped and ready to go. And by pumped, I mean that I told her there were also animals at this particular farm and everything else about the day disappeared from her train of thought. So we headed to Patterson Farms, a little bit outside of Mooresville, and picked several boxes of strawberries. Anna initially really just wanted to pick all of the green ones, but she soon discovered she could eat the yummy red ones out of the box Mommy was filling and not put in the effort of picking. Then we saw some of the farm animals, went to a park, and went out to lunch- it was the best kind of day for Anna (food, animals, swings, more food... perfect!). Of course I forgot my "real" camera, but Lisa helped me get some adorable shots of our fun!

Ready to go picking! (Also just very excited to carry a basket)

Getting into it quick... we had to have some lessons though. She liked the green ones..

"How about this one, Mommy?"

Taste testing is a must!

And, they're good!

Wanna try one?

Ready to get more!

With some of our bounty. Like I said, Nana looooooves strawberries (and she picked some to share)! Anna wasn't into photos at this point because she was ready to go see the animals.
