Lincoln and I headed out for an afternoon of berry pickin' yesterday. The weather was gorgeous (minus the wind; I can always count on dust in the eye when it is windy. Yesterday was no exception...), the fields were full of berries, and Lincoln had a blast! We filled 2 buckets worth of berries. Lincoln rode on my back in the Beco for awhile, so that we could be sure to get a few whole berries instead of part-smushed ones, but when he did get down he was soooo excited about the strawberries. He would try so hard to pick one and then end up smushing it in his hands. But, I'm proud to say, he finally got the hand of it and picked 2 all by himself : ) He also enjoyed taking the berries OUT of the buckets, as well as moving them back and forth between the buckets. Endless fun, I tell you!
Some pictures, and 2 cute videos, from our trip (note: all were taken with my phone, so please excuse the quality...forgot to bring my camera!):
Sorting berries.
He would pick up a berry, hold it up, and say "ooooo!"
"oooo!"
Strawberry!
If anyone has ideas for recipes involving strawberries, please let me know!
