Our CSA, High Ground Organics, had an organic strawberry u-pick today, so we enthusiastically set out to collect tons of fresh strawberries! The only thing is that we got a late start (so what else is new??) partly because we got distracted by checking out the progress in our backyard just as we were supposed to leave the house!
Sadly, this meant we were kinda late to the party and we didn’t find quite as many super-ripe strawberries as we would have liked. Still, we came home with 4.5 pounds…!
Cameron is now a pro strawberry picker (as is Dylan, of course…and Taliana!). She went down the rows periodically proclaiming, “that’s not ripe” with great authority!
We all returned to our place for lunch and play time and, later in the evening, we whipped up some strawberry shortcake for dessert. As always, the kids loved the strawberries the best…yep, berries trumped even whip cream!
Here are a few more pictures from today’s excursion…
