About two weeks ago, we went strawbery picking at Eckert's in Belleville, IL. My Grandma Jane, Grandpa Mike, Aunt Laura, Uncle Eric, Uncle Jeremy, and my cousins; Benson, Allie, Mia, and Weston were all there, too. We had a blast!!! Rayn was in awe of all of the strawberries that were so accessible at her level! She couldn't decide what ones to pick and eat over which ones to leave on their stems and let them grow. She spent most of the time with her dad and he picked the strawberries, wiped them off and gave them to her to eat. Her mom was picking the strawberries to bring home.
By the time that we left, she had strawberries from one ear to the next and from her forehead to her chin. I think in the matter of time that we were there, she ate at LEAST 10-15 strawberries. She loved them! I don't know who had more fun: her eating the strawberries or us being in awe at how many strawberries she was consuming. Needless to say, that evening she didn't eat too much for dinner because she was so full from the strawberries!
