hello! did you all have a good weekend? hope it was a good one for you!
we spent sunday heading over to homestead farm in maryland to pick some strawberries. we went there to pick apples and pumpkins last fall and liked it so much that we went back {and i think we'll be heading back again in late july/august for their peaches}.
when we arrived, a tractor hay truck took us over to the strawberry patch {you can also walk over if you wish}, which was a whole lot of fun. i haven't ridden one since i was a child, and it was a first time for yangkyu so it was good to see him like it just as much as all the little kids that rode with us {who all squealed and giggled and wow-ed when we went over muddy bumps!}.
afterwards we went and said hello to the resident goats, chickens, piglets and llama and fed them some yummy grass too. we also grabbed their strawberry smoothie before heading back home listening to disney songs on pandora.
when we got home, piri's eyes bulged out in excitement because he loves strawberries just as much as he loves apples. we'll be eating a whole lot of them so don't be alarmed if we just end up turning into strawberries by the end of the week!

ReplyDeleteI went strawberry picking once in my life and this adventure of yours is making me yearn for another one. These photos are breathtaking, the red of the strawberries and your top are so vibrant. I hope when I go strawberry picking next time, I find a quaint little farm with the animals you mentioned :) You and your hubby do such adorable things!
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look so plump, juicy and delicious. Nothing is better than fresh picked berries. Wow Piri loves strawberry too? That is awesome. Hope you guys got enough to share ;)
ReplyDeleteNothing beats super freshly picked fruit! The strawberries you guys picked looks so amazing! It looks almost like a scavenger hunt for strawberries!! How fun!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I've been wanting to go strawberry picking for a while now. I think they have it here in Carlsbad. This is motivating me to get off my butt and just go.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a good time. Great photos! -Jess L
How nice! I wish we had this type of farms here where you can go and pick your own fruits at the patch. Strawberries must also be my favorite fruit, nice to know I share a taste with Piri :)
