strawberry picking at Hollin Farms

 

We took the girls strawberry picking for their first time on Saturday, at Hollin Farms in Delaplane. I think the last time Dan and I went strawberry picking was eight years ago in 2006 with his family, so it was our first time in a while, too!

My sister later pointed out that Mirei looks like a Ghibli film creature in this photo… I kind of see what she means! lol.

It was a beautiful day, and we all had a fun time picking the strawberries. We’ve been eating them non-stop the past couple days and still have a lot left!
