Strawberry Picking

Stephanie called this morning to see if we wanted to go pick strawberries. Spur of the moment fun with great family friends, outside on a beautiful spring morning??
Who could say no to that!?

A brief lesson/reminder on which ones to pick and then we turned them loose!
Our taste-tester
Verdict: pretty tasty!
And she didn't stop...in fact, she ate so many that she wound up breaking out later in the day. It's never happened before, or since, so I think it was the sheer quantity in such a short period of time.
Heading back with buckets full of delicious, fresh-picked strawberries!

We rounded out our time with a picnic lunch, some playground time and the farm's homemade ice cream. Probably some of the best I've ever eaten...
Fun day! Thanks, Steph : )
I see a strawberry pie in Team Reed's future...
