Strawberry picking

We went strawberry picking at a farm in a neighboring town.  It was a beautiful day with lovely weather.

The workers give the kids a tutorial in berry picking then off you go to pick.  You just pay by the pound.  The kids did well discerning what were good and ripe berries.

They actually prefer mutated berries such as double berries that have grown together or ones that have 2 or 3 points on the tip instead of one.  They told me those are "toes".  Wingman tried to find "baby" berries which were tiny.  They had a good time.

We picked enough to enjoy several rounds of strawberry short cake, strawberry ice cream, and handfuls of berries with meals.

Looking forward to coming back to pick peaches later this summer.  Here's a shot of the blooming peach trees.

We finished the day with a trip to an area park and a picnic.  It was a near perfect day in my estimation.
