What can I say, I’m a sucker for a photo opp. Luckily, Kate’s a good sport. 🙂 We drove out to Sweet Berry Farm to pick some strawberries last week and had a great time.
If you’ve never had fresh picked strawberries, you should know that they are pretty much the best thing you’ve ever put in your mouth. They are incredibly sweet and flavorful.
I had a bit of a hard time convincing Kate that she had to wait to eat them until we paid for them. I don’t blame her a bit. 🙂
This is our third year in a row of coming out to pick strawberries, but it’s the first time we’ve come during the week. There were a lot more ripe strawberries, I guess because there were so many fewer people out picking them. Kate did a great job of picking them this year. She really wanted some green ones, but she listened and just picked the red ones.
She’s such a ham. She knows that I love pictures of her running towards the camera. “I gave you a running picture, Mama!” So adorable.
It rained on us a bit, but after taking cover for a snack we headed back out to the fields for a few more strawberries. I had a hard time not filling up our box (and going back for several more) since they’re so good, but they really only last a day or two as they’re so ripe.
No trip would be complete without strawberry ice cream. Kate and Will were very serious about their ice cream. 🙂
