strawberries!!!

Last Saturday, we headed out to the Orchards for their annual Strawberry Festival.

Lots of fun.

We went to the petting zoo.

Saw the llama. Didn't pet it. He looked kinda goofy.

Said "hi" to the baby goats.

Was fascinated with the baby chicks...

...and excited to "hold" it too.

We took a trek to the less populated part of the strawberry fields...

...picked some perfectly ripe strawberries...

...enjoyed eating some of the strawberries...

...showed evidence of eating strawberries...

...(ahem) left behind evidence of eating strawberries...

...and picked some more strawberries so we could make some Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (recipe to follow soon).

Oh, and I can't forget to mention that we also brought home a quart of the Orchard's very own Strawberry ice cream which is flat out uh-maz-ing and only offered for a short time out of the year.

{{Sigh...}} have I mentioned that I'm going to miss this place when we move?
