Pea-picking fun

I took the kids to a local pick-your-own farm yesterday with the intention of picking strawberries; however, the strawberry patch was closed for ripening, so we had to buy some pre-picked  strawberries instead, but they were delicious! The pea patch was open, so we decided to pick a few just for the fun of it. 

Can you tell Heidi put her headband on herself? :)

The farm also had a little pen of sheep, goats, and a pony for kids to see. My other kids have been to farms and seen these animals before, but Trevor was interested (and also a little frightened) by them.

A wonderland of farm-themed playground structures drew all the older kids away and Trevor was soon sucked in too. They all ran from thing to thing for about an hour before Trevor decided he was hungry and wanted to go home to eat. I was pretty impressed with the playground and animals, and it was free! (The peas and strawberries weren't of course).

There are also raspberries at this farm and Asher wants to go raspberry-picking again for his birthday. (It has become a tradition since we moved to Canada). So, we might skip the place we've gone for the last couple years and go here this year so the kids can run around and play as well.
