Who loves Strawberries? The girls have been asking daily to go pick some deliciousness for our house, but I was hesitant to load up and travel over an hour one way. Recently, we started hearing that a local farm was less than 10 miles from our house with all the u-pick strawberries, greens etc. 
I love supporting local companies, and businesses with a purpose. As soon as we pulled up we were welcomed with southern charm/hospitality from the owners who greeted us. The girls listened to the instructions, grabbed their buckets and were on their way. I told them once: "don't pick green or rotted ones, no eating, and no dropping any on the ground to keep the bugs away."
Caroline left covered in juices from squeezing some too hard & Charlotte got the biggest red juicy ones, and was beyond proud of herself.
We spent a little over an hour and had the best time. It was so worth $20 for strawberries to see the girls making memories, I can still hear the laughter through the aisles, buzzing of the bees and faces from the girls when they found another "big one."
Its days like today that I want to keep them young, protected and under my wing.
I'll be sharing more on what we do with all the strawberries later this month or next, for now we cleaned, washed, and froze the majority of them for a later date.
I've linked the girls outfits from Shrimp & Grits Kids, which are on backorder until 4/15/19, but can still be purchased in advance.

ReplyDeleteWe all love to just eat the berries, they usually don’t make it long enough to make anything because my family gobbles then up! Love those sweet outfits and props momma for keeping them clean!!
