Strawberry Dreams


Every month/season it seems like we are finding fun, inexpensive things to do with Cody. This spring it has been Strawberry picking. We have a local farm called Bedners that has seasonal fruits/veggies/flower picking. Right now it's tomato's / Strawberries. We've gone twice now and both times us as well as Cody has had a blast.




They have a fun little set up. On the weekends the have little booths with vendors, think homemade ice cream, lemonade, a barbacue shack, homemade crafts and such. You purchase the size bucket you want then off to the field to wait for your ride... A tractor with a bed and seats runs every 10 minutes or so to take you out to the fields. I would guess they have 100 acres or so with the different picking options. You can stay out as long as you want then catch a tractor back. It's a really fun afternoon out.



As for Cody he is still reaching all his milestones and amazing us everyday. He can now count to 10 on his own and can kinda say his A B C's along with the song from his Leapfrog computer. Of course I still think he is gifted and much smarter than those his age :)
