U Pick Strawberry Patch

There are a ton of fruit farms just down the hill from where we live. Strawberries are in season, and it's a prime time for picking! 

We thought we'd take James down to give it a try 
as strawberries are one of his favorites.

Sure enough, the strawberry patch was a hit!


James needed no teaching- he knew exactly what to do. 

The farm even had a little bucket for him to deposit his pickings. Perfect!

Ripe and delicious!



James filled his bucket over and over, and each time he would dump it into Dad's larger box.



Look what else I found, Mom!


Dad showing James how to pick the best strawberries.

Yum!

He just couldn't wait!

A neighboring farm had horses. 
James was very interested, so Matt took him over to say hello.

Strawberry success!

Next up... strawberry jam.

A new family tradition!
