Strawberry Picking


Two weeks ago we took the girls to a farm about 45 minutes away and went strawberry picking. We all had a great time. The week and days before we had tons of rain so the fields had actually been underwater the day before. That meant a lot of the crop was ruined and it was a little muddy but the girls didn't seem to mind and we still ended up with a good batch of berries. They quickly got the hang of it although they needed reminding not to pick up the fuzzy green ones, yuck! Within a few minutes they were eating the right off the vine, which the man told us was okay. They were an organic farm apparently which made us happy.


After we filled our basket and took a break to sample some more, we went over to their "petting zoo." It wasn't all that but the girls still liked getting close to the animals. We had a very fun day.
