Summer Strawberry Picking

For the past few years we have done our annual strawberry and raspberry picking at Biringer Farms. This year the berries were ready for pickin' almost 2 weeks earlier than they can ever remember. So despite still being on crutches, I was determined to get out there with my family so we wouldn't miss our window for berry picking. So right in the middle of the berry picking window, June 4th, was when we decided to go.

Let me tell you though, trying to walk through the narrow rows of strawberry fields with crutches in no joke!  It was so hard!!! And the whole bending over action of picking was a bit harder on my back than I had anticipated.  So it didn't take much of me bending over to pick berries before I made the smart decision to switch with Jason and I became the carrier for Brielle (which at that point I just stood and watched). I'm sure people looked at us a bit funny wondering why my husband would make me "baby wear" while on crutches.

It's hard work picking berries while baby wearing!

I'm glad we got out there and the girls had a blast as usual...Hailey of course eating her way through the fields.
