Saturday morning we planned a family outting to the strawberry farm. So glad we went because the girls were sick afterwards and a trip to the doctor proved a sentence of staying home for the weekend (pink eye for Kaitlyn and sinus/double ear infection for Kyleigh)- poor kids.
Anyways, we went to a small farm just out NC 150 in Browns Summit. It was a nice farm and they weren't busy probably because of the threat of rain. It was slightly muddy but we were prepared with shoes for mud and a new pair to change into afterwards. This was Kaitlyn's first time picking strawberries. She only ate one which was a shock to most but not to us. We told her she could taste one and then she had to wait until we got home to wash them. They picked an entire flat and then Dennis bought some more just in case that wasn't enough. We ended up with plenty. We have strawberries coming out of our ears - not literally but you get my drift. I made a strawberry cobbler that was divine and we froze about 5 pints Then we shared the wealth with neighbors and friends that stopped by. Here are a few pics from the day.

What a sweet family activity! That is something I definitely want to do with Elaina someday! (And, I could eat strawberries all day long! Love them!) Looks like you guys had fun. Hope the girls are feeling better today! :)
Cool pictures!
