Every June since Shannon was about to turn two, we have gone strawberry picking at Becker Farms. As soon as we arrive, we buy our U-pick tokens, catch the tractor, and get a ride to the field.
We picked some gems!
They loved filling up their own baskets and they were so proud when they filled them to the top!
I put Savannah in the same outfit I put Shannon in when she was little. I saved both the strawberry dress and shoes and having two kids three years apart almost to the month means that all of Shannon's old clothes fit Savannah for every season.
Both of them looked as sweet as pie.
It took us a little while to pick some "good" strawberries because we went a little bit later than we usually do. A lot of the bushes were already picked over so we really had to look hard and walk further out.
And the big juicy ones we did find were immediately eaten by this little critter right here. I can't even get mad because that is what it is all about! Grabbing juicy strawberries that were sitting in the sun right off of the vine and taking a bite!
Overall, the day was a success and we came home with two pints. I think I am going to do what I did last year and make homemade jam and then make a giant homemade pop-tart with the girls.
Hope you are enjoying your Summer like we are!
