Strawberry Picking

We had the best time going to Tanaka Farms for strawberry picking. We had been to Tanaka Farms before but never on the strawberry tour. We all gathered into a trailor pulled by a tractor and drove onto the farm. The tractor would stop and we would get the chance to sample organic vegetables from the farm (carrots, green beans, onions, celery). At the end we stopped at the strawberry fields and were given 2 baskets to pick strawberries. Mike and I had discussed prior that he would hold the basket and I would show Lucas how to pick the strawberries and put them in the basket. As soon as they let us out the plan went out the window because Lucas took off and started eating strawberries, one in each hand. So Mike was in charge of filling the baskets full of strawberries and I was in charge of chasing Lucas as he picked and ate. We can't wait to go back for watermelon season :)
