Mommy's Big Adventure for Strawberry Picking!  Mommy had a great idea to go Strawberry picking with all the kids.  The boys take on the adventure:  it was great.  We had a hay ride and saw many, many fields of strawberries and wheat.  Then we got to pick strawberries (Jack) and hit the strawberry plants (Alex).  They rewarded us with chocolate ice cream . . . yum! Then we got a strawberry plant to bring home and an ice cream cone filled with animal feed to feed the roosters, pig, cow, chickens and goats.  We loved it.

Mom's take on the adventure:  Exhausting.  Mommy picked the strawberries, Alex poured them out of the quart box, Jack and Alex fought so they had to go to time out on the hay barrel.  Jack, my only strawberry picker, pooped out on me so I had to finish it off with Samantha screaming in the Baby Bjorn.  Jack did not listen well so we had many confrontations about listening.  I think Mommy will take a helper next time.
