Over the summer, Lauren Olivia made a list of 10 things she wanted to do. Picking strawberries was one of them. So... I had this brilliant idea, we would get up early this morning, spend quality time together, and go pick strawberries and get our Christmas tree...
I thought it was a very good idea, but the girls seemed to think differently! They just wanted to stay home, in their pj's, and do homework. I had to put my very sad mother face/voice on, and then they changed their minds. It works every time. Shhh don't tell my secret...
When we first got to Bedner's Farmers Market, it was actually very comical! All the children there were under the age of 6. Except for mine, my girls are 15 and 20...
Santa Claus was there too, and no I did not make them sit on his lap. I won't lie, I did think about it for a few moments...
Funny how even when you are 15 and 20 years old, you still can't stand still while waiting in line. I have one texting, and one studying her flash cards for chemistry. Or they are annoying each other to no end. Some things will never change, and maybe, I really don't want them too...
They actually ate more berries than what went into their baskets, just like when they were smaller. I remember the first time I took the girls to pick strawberries. A friend had told me to bring little scissors, so they could cut the stems and not squish the berries. It worked very well. Except, Lindsey decided to cut her own bangs that day. Let me just say... They were not straight what so ever, but they did grow back eventually and it is a very sweet memory for me...
You can also cut your own sunflowers if you would like...
Where else, but South Florida, can you pick strawberries, sunflowers and get your Christmas tree all at the same time...
