Strawberry picking..

On friday Sarai and i were invited to go strawberry picking with a few other moms and there kids. The farm was located about 45 minutes away from where we live. I have always wanted to go and it had been something my mom had talked about taking my nieces to. When we first got to the farm the owner told us that they had pretty bad mosquitos and they hated the smell of vanilla for some reason. So she gave us these napkins soaked in vanilla. I think i was the over protective mom. Everyone else dabbed a little on their kids, i went crazy with all over any exposed parts. I was afraid because the owner mentioned that sometimes this particular bug would burrow in the hair and cause big lumps that took 1-2 days to go away. I was terrified that sarai could possibly go through that. So she ended up smelling like i dumped a full bottle of vanilla body spray on her. After that i took MORE time to slather in sunblock. (poor sarai she has no idea what is in store for her. I believe it is better safe than sorry) Anyway i had to strap her in the baby carrier and i took her out to the fields to pick strawberries. At first she seemed to hate it, there was a light breeze which was nice because it helped keep the bugs away and it kept it from being TOO hot. She isnt completely used to being in the sun and wind (we have kept her covered for too long) so she has been going through an adjustment period. After about 15 minutes she seem to enjoy herself, i had to stop for a few minutes find a tree and give her bottle. Otherwise she had lots of fun being outside. I on the other hand had a HARD time squating and getting back up for an hour with a 17 pd baby strapped to my chest. I eventually had to give up and go back to the shop. I am really feeling it now my thighs feel like someone took a bat to them. I guess that shows that i need to start working out! Anyway hope you enjoy the pics!
