Strawberry Fields Forever (or at least a morning)

Made the trek out to Millers Farm this past Friday for some strawberry-pickin'-fun-ness.

Eva had to be convinced that something she found on the ground was "OK" to eat.... then she wouldn't stop.

Solomon was the bite-and-spit type of berry eater. (he decided not to like them)

Faithy was my champion picker! She would dutifully pick one berry for her basket before eating another.

If you plan to visit Millers, be aware they don't have real restrooms - only the Johnny pictured at the base of the silo behind Eva - but that Jon was clean enough. Somethings you'll wanna bring if you plan to go to the patch: sun block or a hat, rubber boots, baby wipes, a wagon for crossing the street with little ones and hauling your haul, plastic bags for muddy clothes and shoes, and lunch. There is no shade in the fields (obviously) or at the picnic area, but there is dirt - a great heap of it - for the kids to climb on and play with trucks (provided) in. Note Eva's knees. We had a great time with both the dirt and the berry pickin' and would definitely go back! They also have peppers, flowers, and other things for picking and purchasing. (see their site) Dawn W. says they have the BEST ice cream you've ever tasted... might need to go back to check on that.
