Picking Strawberries with Mallory











Well our whole family couldn't pick strawberries together this year because Taylor Grace had a broken ankle. We didn't want her to step in smashed strawberries with her cast. It also had the threat of rain on the way. So.... Mallory and I head out to do the picking. As we were driving, the clouds were looking grayer and grayer. Then the rain started. There was even a song on the radio about it raining that we thought was funny. Rain is a good thing!! Rain makes corn, corn makes whisky, whisky makes my baby feel frisky. (Mallory thinks that it says, "Rain makes corn, corn makes biscuits, biscuits makes my baby feel frisky. Ha Ha!!) We continued to drive and once we got to Springs Farms in Fort Mill it had slowed down some. We started picking, but picked fast. The more we picked the harder it rained. Finally we were running and eating the strawberries at the same time. It was pretty funny! We got back to the van just in time and it was like buckets of water were being poured out of the sky. We had a good time even though we were rushed. We weren't going to let a little bit of rain stop us from getting some delicious strawberries!
