Strawberry Fields Forever

We are so lucky to have a wonderful little strawberry farm, literally right around the corner.  Arlo and I went 3 times this season!  We still have a few fresh berries from our most recent trip and a few in the freezer, but they go fast around here!  

The first time we went this year was with Caroline and Gigi.  It was mid-April and still pretty cool, so we bundled up and went pickin' early in the morning. 

In addition to the berry-picking, we visited the chickens, pigs, and cows, chatted with the farm owner as he rode around on a golf cart, and took our time meandering, picking flowers and picking up rocks. 

Once we were loaded down with booty, we headed back to the car for a photo shoot.




We had to sample the goods.


Don't these pictures remind you of these from almost exactly a year ago?


 What a difference a year makes! 


"Haven't you taken ENOUGH pictures yet?"


 And then, a smile for mama!


 And a little hand-holding action before we part.


This post is somewhat timely...the outing was over a month ago, but our pals Caroline, Matt, and Gigi are moving on Monday.  :(  We are incredibly sad to see them go, but we are so happy to have developed such wonderful friendships.  They are headed to Virginia for their next big adventure and we are so excited for them!  We are hoping for frequent reunions and that maybe our paths will cross again someday!  We love you guys!
