Spring = Strawberries!
One of our favorite traditions since moving to NC is picking fresh strawberries.
We suffer through a year long of eating grocery store tasting fruit...and count down the days till we can pick some of our own.
Picking strawberries is usually best done with friends.
So they can help you pick out the very best one...
help you hold your bucket...
help you sample the first strawberry of the season...
and help point out all of the juice on your chin!!
As in years past, we usually end up with a bucket filled with mini-strawberries.
For some reason, Hailey loves to pick berries that match her in size.
She feels a sense of camaraderie with them.
But size doesn't matter when you're mashing them up for ice cream or scones!
After picking it's time to PLAY!!!
Our strawberry patch has set aside the perfect area to picnic and have fun with friends.
Each year we pick more then the last...because they never last very long at home!!!
