Strawberry Picking…
An endless field of strawberries? Check.
A three-year-old who loves to know the rules and pick her strawberries with maximum stem attached? Check.
Cute dress decorated with fruit? Check.
Pink sparkly tennis shoes for the muddy fields? No.
No, those were back at home, next to the door, where Ellie left them FOR A PRACTICAL JOKE.
Not kidding.
She didn’t reveal the joke until we had arrived at the strawberry fields AN HOUR AWAY.
Do I have to tell you that I was not laughing?
Thankfully we borrowed these blue Crocs from our friends.
But the blue Crocs gave her blisters.
Which led to crying and drama in the strawberry field (that, yes, went on forever).
And me carrying El and Nate and the camera back to the car.
Oh and her strawberries.
Check.
