Strawberry Festival

When we returned from our beach trip, we were bummed to discover that we had missed strawberry picking at our favorite farm.  After doing a bit of searching on the web, I found a farm that still had strawberry picking.  Even better news, was when I discovered the town near the farm was having a strawberry festival!  We decided to check out the Delaplane Strawberry Festival and then go strawberry picking right after!


The festival was a fun little event.  There were some arts and craft vendors and a bunch of food vendors.  We had a picnic lunch in the shade.  After lunch, we went to visit with the animals.  They had a small petting zoo area with sheep, goats, horses, and cows.  

They also had pony rides!  Brayden told the woman helping out at the pony rides that he wanted to ride the smallest pony.  The woman took him over to this little tiny pony, perfect for Brayden.  He had fun riding and was very talkative with the girls leading his pony around.


Taylor was a great sport at the festival.  It was very hot outside and she didn't really enjoy sitting out in the sun.  She was very happy when we took her out of the stroller and brought her on the hayride!

The festivals had some little games set up for the kids.  Brayden played a few games and won little prizes.  At one game, he picked out a little blue ring with a blue hand on it as his prize.  He ran right over to me and told me he won it for me!  I love my sweet little boy so much!!


After relaxing with some snow cones, we headed over to the Hollins Farms to pick some strawberries.  The farm had a great crop of strawberries!  We picked two containers full of ripe red juicy strawberries!


At this point in our trip, Taylor was pretty much done.  She was tired and hot and you could just tell she was thinking how come this place doesn't have air conditioning.  Even though you could tell she wasn't happy, she still never complained.  Not one little cry.  Just this adorable little look that clearly said she was ready to go home.


Brayden loved picking strawberries and took it very seriously.  He checked over every strawberry very carefully to make sure it was perfect!


He did a great job picking them off the vine and making sure to not squish any.



After our visit to the farm, we all agreed we had found a great new place to pick strawberries!  We took our delicious berries home and made a strawberry pie and strawberry muffins!
