First Time Strawberry Pickin'!

Monday afternoon we went on an adventure. We'd never been strawberry picking before and for whatever reason the idea of picking our own fruit sounds so much cooler than grabbing a pre-picked carton.


I am naive and know nothing about farming and actually attempted to visit this farm in November to go strawberry picking. Ha! Turns out strawberry season is March and April here. I was just anxious, okay?


Mak felt extra special holding the bucket.



But walking while holding the bucket wasn't really her strong suit, so I took over bucket duty while she ran free...



Then we told her to "find a red berry and pull it!"



The problem was, she wanted to pull it from the ground and IMMEDIATELY eat it. Mmm dirt. After some negotiating we got her to drop them in the bucket. She of course followed this with a round of applause for herself. 


Such an awesome family day at Country Best Farms. We got about a pound of beautiful strawberries (that I have yet to use, but that's not the point - haha) and plan to go back before the season is over. See I'm starting to understand the season thing now.



We finished off the evening at Cheeburger Cheeburger. Chili cheese fries, burgers and milkshakes? Yes please. Oh and lemons for the baby girl ;-)
