Berry Picking!!

With the very warm weather we've been having, the strawberries at the local pick-you-own farms are prime for the picking. I took the kids on Friday, and we have been enjoying the berries all weekend...popsicles, pancakes, and even margaritas for mommy and daddy. If you're looking for a fun and easy activity this week, check out Hall Family Farm or Wise Acres Farm...the QCB farm favorites. Looking for other pick-your-own fruits? Scoop Charlotte shared THIS article a few weeks back with a great list! Happy picking!
