Strawberry Picking

About 30 minutes from our house is a farm where you can pick strawberries.  I'd heard of people going for the past few years, but we never got around to it.  I decided that we would not just sit at home all Spring Break, so we headed out to pick berries today!  Coleman was convinced it would be a waste of time, but even he ended up having a good time (which he reluctantly admitted on the ride home).  Of course, we were not the only ones with this idea.  Once we got to the farm, we sat in a line of cars for almost 40 minutes to get into the parking lot and get a spot!  Who cares though when you've got nowhere to be and a beautiful day to enjoy!

She liked carrying the buckets, until they were filled with over 4 lbs of strawberries!

Oh no, he might be having fun!

This one will probably eat most of the strawberries we bring home

This was only a small section of the strawberry field, and in the back you can see the line of cars waiting for parking spots

She would ask me if a strawberry was a good one before she picked it

Say "strawberry!"

Hmmm.  I might have to spend all afternoon on Pinterest looking for strawberry recipes

Eating his first one

I didn't get a picture of the strawberry and cream fried pie I bought as we were leaving.  Oh my word was it goooooooood.  Thankfully we had already left or I might have bought more! 

Yesterday was a veg-out day and today was strawberry picking.  Tomorrow we're going to George Ranch, a historical ranch not far from our house.  Then Thursday we're packing lunches at Lunches of Love.  Fun week!
