Strawberry Pickin'

Today we headed to Fall Creek Farms to pick strawberries!  I love that Fall Creek Farm is just outside of our neighborhood.  Close to home, fun for us, fun for the kids, healthy (organic farm), and we all get to eat strawberries when we get home! What's not to love?


Bella was so excited that she was able to wear clothes that matched the occasion.



Check out that good-lookin' guy!

I think Balian enjoyed the dirt just as much as the strawberries!  Check out that face :)


 Fall Creek Farm has all kinds of metal "things" throughout the land.  Grasshoppers, a Daddy-long-leg spider, a dung beetle... But this is the only one that is bright and colorful...We had to get a picture with the Ginormous Strawberry!


Isaiah had fun chillin' out with me while we picked our berries.  Leaning over to pick strawberries while wearing this guy made for quite a workout, but worked well.  Seriously.  If you haven't tried a back carry - you should try it - LOVE it.  Makes life so much easier!


Now...to make my 1/2 year's worth of strawberry jam...
This time I'm going to attempt to make an all-fruit version (no sugar added).  We'll see how it goes.
