we have a berry patch/pumpkin farm in our city. i thought it’d be fun to take Bear there so we could pick our own strawberries. the admission is free, and the berries are $1.25/lb, so it’s a fairly in expensive outing. i was a bit surprised at Pip {16} when we were planning on going. i asked her if she wanted to go, expecting her to decline, instead, she enthusiastically said yes.
there was a tractor pulling a trailer so we could take a hayrack ride out to the strawberry field. after that, the 3 of us took our strawberry crates and got to picking!
it was a great time. we spent about 45 minutes out in the field and ended up with 3 lbs of little strawberries that were soooo yummy! i’m thinking that they might have tasted just a little bit better since we picked them ourselves.
the best part was watching the kids… there’s something about being outside in a more natural setting. it seems to make things more pure and real.

That looks like so much fun, Andie! I have never been strawberry picking but have always wanted to go.
Wonderful stuff – I love PYO farms. Such a great way to spend an afternoon.
