Happy Easter! Last weekend, we took the kids to our favorite farm for a hayride and egg hunt. The hayride seemed a little long since it was pretty darn cold outside but it afforded us a view of the orchards and fields where our CSA produce will come from this summer :-)
The promise of eggs and/or candy kept the kids motivated:
The egg hunt was pretty simple: the Easter Bunny stumbled on his way to the farm and his basket of eggs spilled everywhere! In his basket were five colors of plastic eggs - red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Each child was asked to find ONE of each color and bring them back to the farmer so that the farmer could bring the eggs back to the Bunny. Sean set off at record pace and Clare took her time...
Sorting out the eggs before receiving a good bag of prizes for her "help!"
The kids celebrate their hard work:
A peek at the strawberry fields under white tarp. The farmer told us that strawberries used to be called redberries and were kept warm in the fields under a layer of straw. Now, the berries are kept warm under a layer of white tarp - the farmer asked if we should call them "white tarp-berries?" And the kids in the crowd gave a hearty "No!"
After the chilly hayride back to the farm store, we took the kids inside to sit with the Easter Bunny:
And on the car ride home, Clare got into her prize bag and decorated herself with stickers :-)
