pick your own: strawberries

We have ben taking Logan strawberry picking since before she could walk and it's always the sweetest time, literally. You can see a few of our most recent pick-your-own adventures here, here, and here. It's one of our favorite things to do together as a family, and one I hope to continue to do for many more years to come.

Today we headed out to our favorite local farm and went strawberry picking. The tractor wagon took us out to the wet, marshy, fields where we filled our produce bins with berries, berries, and berries. We were in our sweet [literally] glory. Strawberry scents filled the air, and the sights looked as sweet as they smelled. 

The ground was quite soggy to say the least [yesterday we received 5 inches of rain] but we didn't let that stop us. 

This is one of my favorite early summer traditions we have created with Logan. And I think it's hers too, my sweet red handed berry thief. Sco, Lo, and I are all huge berry enthusiasts, and look forward to picking them fresh and local every year.
