Froberg Farms

Natalie and I have meant to take the kids to pick strawberries for awhile. Since Rachel had Good Friday off of school and our husbands had to work, we decided to go. And luckily we decided to go first thing in the morning. We found out later that there was an hour wait in the afternoon just to get into the parking lot. We got right in and got right to picking strawberries, which was good since the weather was already heating up.

All smiles with empty buckets on their heads:

Picking away:

Unfortunately you really had to search for good berries. Earlier that week a hail storm had come through and damaged a lot of the berries. We probably spent about 45 minutes picking berries and only got 3.5 pounds between the 3 kids. We'll have to try and time it better next year and maybe we'll be able to get more berries.

Ian hung out in his car seat for awhile and then when he got tired of that he snoozed on my back in the Beco.Some more smiles of the girls (they were ready to be done):

One last photo op before heading home:

The girls had fun. They love eating the strawberries that they picked - we've almost finished them off. It's not necessarily a better deal picking your own strawberries, but it's all about the experience. I bought strawberries at the grocery store yesterday that were 50 cents cheaper per pound... But it was fun to let the girls see where strawberries come from. And it's always fun to get together with Chase, Natalie, and Landon!
