Mikaela and I went on her last field trip of the year on my birthday to the Strawberry Patch in Loganville. We had the best time! The morning began with a few games of Ring Around the Rosie while we waited for all to arrive. Our kindhearted farmer taught us all about strawberries - how they are planted, what they need to grow, and even about photosynthesis (which he assures us will be on every science test until they graduate!). Mikaela was excited to find out that strawberries are flowers before they grow. We went for a bumpy hayride to see the bee hive boxes that draw bees to help with pollination. Finally - we got to the strawberry picking! The strawberries were so sweet - okay, so we ate just a few while we picked:). We had a nice picnic in the breezy field afterwords. Callie and Clay joined us for our lunch of ham, cheese puffs and ........STRAWBERRIES!
