Today was Cooper’s field trip to the Strawberry Patch.  It is at the same field that we go to to pick pumpkins in the fall and even though it is mid-May it was actually colder this day than in the fall.  Everyone was freezing!

His class learned about pollination and how strawberries start as flowers.  They got to visit all of the farm animals in the petting zoo and then it was off to pick the berries.  Each of the boys picked a full bucket, so there were plenty of strawberry snacks at our house for the next several days. 

After they were finished picking, we walked over to the picnic area where they have a great tree swing and each boy took their turn going as high as mom could push them.
