Simply Living This Mommy Wife Life: Strawberry Patch Visit ( aka a whole bunch of pictures of my kids eating strawberries)

We took a trip to our favorite little family owned orchard that is about ten miles from our house. We make several trips throughout the year to pick different fruits when they are in season, and today it was strawberries! The boys really enjoy going to the orchard, mostly for the fact that they can eat fruit straight off of the plant and see all the farm animals. They don't get a whole lot of actual picking done but that's okay. They are happy to run around and eat fruit while Rem and I pick!

If you have never had strawberries that are fresh from the farm, you are really missing out! There is absolutely no comparison between store bought strawberries and fresh picked. Fresh picked are juicy as can be and sweet as candy! My boys would literally eat them until they were sick if we didn't tell them they have a limit. I also think it's fun to be able to pick the food you bring home and eat. There's something about knowing exactly where your food comes from. Don't get me wrong, I buy the huge majority of our food from the grocery store, but in the summer, when things are in season, we love getting it fresh from the farm.

Now you can enjoy looking at a million pictures of my boys eating strawberries, because that's pretty much what they did the entire time we were there!
