On Saturday morning, we met some friends at a small, fun, family farm 15 minutes from our house for an annual strawberry-picking outing. Now with ten pounds of strawberries, we hope to make homemade strawberry ice cream just for fun!
The farm offered a sand pit, a maze, a water game, riding toys, and a kitchen selling delectable treats like apple fritters, funnel cakes, and strawberry slushies.

HOW FUN! This is right by our house, and we pick every year!! The kids love the play area as well!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day! We have a farm just down from the road us that we usually pick at...but they had a lot of rain damage this year and haven't had "pick your own strawberries" yet. May I ask what farm you went to? All the kids are wanting to go :)
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with your family :)
Many blessings,

That looks like amazing fun, Katherine! I am struck by how your family is dressed while we are still putting heavy-ish jackets on the kids.
