Picking berries at Hann's

Strawberries came on early this year, REALLY early.

The first weekend in May we headed out to get our very own berries and have a great time.  We headed to Hann's, where we've been going the last few years, and it was already getting busy.  We got our bucket weighed and went to the fields to get our prize.

Within seconds, the girls were BOTH already cramming their faces with the fresh off of the vine goodies.  Amara did a really great job listening and picking ONLY the ones that were completely red, whereas Cora was content to just be handed hers--I think the hay being almost as thick as she was tall in some spots intimidated her. :)

When we had enough, we went back in the barn to weigh our berries.  We didn't get a ton, so we got a few other pecks to supplement, and grabbed a few for Grandpa Jahn too.  It was fun, too bad it's been so hot--they won't last forever, but they sure are tasty!

Amara insisted on holding the berries in the car--and I'm sure I found at least a dozen stems back there :)
