Strawberry Fields Forever

Last Friday we went to Mrs. Heather's Strawberry Patch. I loved it! We got to pick berries to fill a clam shell, (the plastic container you see in the store with strawberries in it), and we got to eat as many as we wanted while we went along! - I'd say we got our money's worth!



Claire loved every moment of eating those strawberries!

Claire's dress, hands, and face got dirtier as we went along.

Just look at those rows of strawberries!

Mrs. Heather also has a petting zoo, a playground, and much, much more. We stuck to the petting zoo and the swings, since there were lots of kids there on a field trip.


We also bought a flat of strawberries, so during the last week, we've eaten a lot of strawberries, I've made 2 batches of strawberry freezer jam, 3 batches of strawberry muffins, and a cake with strawberries, and I've frozen some, too! I LOVE fresh strawberries!
