Strawberry Picking

Today we took a nice drive out to Great Country Farms for their Strawberry Festival. It was our first time to this farm and we had such a great time. We plan to go back for blueberries in a few weeks and pumpkins in the fall. There were so many fun things for the kids to do, plus it wasn't very crowded since we got there early. And the weather was so nice after almost a week of non-stop rain! The patch was full of the most delicious strawberries I've ever eaten. Good thing they are grown chemical-free b/c we ate about a pint while picking! We came home with about a flat and even made homemade strawberry ice cream, which was sooo good. Now, I need to surf online for some other recipes since we still have tons of strawberries left over!
