Strawberry Picking and the Terrible Twos!


One of our favorite Spring activities is going to pick strawberries and then get yummy strawberry ice cream afterwards. We went this year with some friends of ours. Laurel was so excited about the trip for days and asked everyday if it was time to go pick strawberries yet.

We arrived and the girls ran right to the playground. They were having lots of fun and then Laurel threw a monster fit. It was seriously the worst temper tantrum she has ever had. It all started because her friend didn't want to do what Laurel told her to do at the playground. Laurel started screaming and then threw herself down on the ground. People were staring and I was feeling like the worst mom in the world. Finally I went and put her in the car and sat with her until she calmed down.

After that she was the sweetest little girl and had a great time picking strawberries!

After awhile she got tired of picking them and just ate them straight out of her basket.

Finally, enjoying some tasty strawberry ice cream.

I'm glad the trip ended well. I guess I have to get used to the terrible twos and be ready for when it rears it's ugly head!
