Strawberry pickin' and a picnic


On Sunday, Sid, Lucas, Will, and I went to U-Pick Farms in Hagerstown to pick strawberries. Our friend Milah told us about it and we had to check it out since we are strawberry lovers at our house. The kids were a little hesitant to go but once we got there, they really had fun picking their own strawberries. I was surprised to find out that there is a special way you pick them. You are supposed to pick them from the stem and leave the green top on. The lady that helped us was super nice and even gave us a ride on a golf cart out to the field. Lucas would pick one and eat three, he had a really good time! After that, we had a picnic on the back of our van. We came home tired and covered in strawberry juice, but it was worth it! I even bought a short cake mix at the little store so we'll see how that turns out. Yum!

It looks like they had a great time.;D

Everyone keeps telling me that Bisquick has a wonderful shortbread recipe on the back of their box. I haven't tried it yet but hope to soon.

There is also an Amish strawberry farm in Fountain City. I don't know if that one is closer to you or not??
