Riding Ponies and Picking Berries

It was a good thing that we made time during our summer vacation to visit Underwood Family Farms. Sam barely fit under the height sign for the pony rides.

There were oodles of fun activities for the girls. They rode a train, climbed atop a mountain of hay bales, ran in and out of an underground tunnel, bopped around in a bounce house shaped like a cow, rode a coin-operated toy tractor, and watched a musical show featuring mechanized chickens.



But the best part of our visit was when the four of us made our way to the strawberry patches to pick fresh strawberries. It should be noted that Lisa and David could never get Sam or Charlie to try strawberries back home during the height of the season. But the minute the girls caught the fragrant whiff of the bright red strawberries at the farm, they were all over them. The Woo-Bloxberg sisters repeatedly declared that they loved strawberries. We'll see if that holds true next summer back home.
