Last Saturday we spent the afternoon at Homestead Farm in Maryland for some good old-fashioned strawberry pickin'. It was a hot and humid afternoon, but very worth it. Those fresh strawberries were so delicious and so much better than the grocery store variety. We took a wagon ride out to the strawberry fields. Elsa would have been happy to stay on the wagon all day. She didn't care about picking strawberries, and didn't even want to eat any (and strawberries are her favorite food). Once we got back on the wagon, Ben put the box of strawberries on Elsa's lap and she finally tried one. And then another, and another...she quickly figured out what she had been missing. Amelia was really into picking berries and would only pick berries that were perfect. Good quality control.
We ended up picking over 10 pounds of strawberries! Click here to find out what we did with them all. They went much faster than I thought.
Wow! These photos are magazine-worthy. HOW FUN! I am jealous of this activity. Mmmmmmmmm. Yummy adventure.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw the "Homestead Farms" cut-out picture was, what kind of bizarre filter is that? It turns everything into cartoon!
