I took Vivian to Lewis Farms to pick strawberries today and it was so much fun. This was the first time going, which is crazy, since we've been in Wilmington for over 7 years. Better late than never I guess. Definitely more fun going with your child than by yourself anyway. Worth the wait, that's for sure!!
Vivian loved putting the strawberries in her bucket. She looked so cute! She wore a little outfit that her Nana made her and she rocked pigtails for the first time. Such a cutie pie!!
Picking your own strawberries is cheaper than buying them in the grocery store I think. It helps cutting out the middle man :) An almost full bucket only cost $8.25...not too shabby...vs paying $5 for a small container at the store.
After picking strawberries, we got an ice cream treat. A cup of strawberry ice cream for Vivy and a strawberry milkshake for me. However, after Vivian polished off her ice cream, she went to town on my milkshake. Good thing I love her!
With all the strawberries we couldn't possibly eat alone, I had to do a little Pinterest search for recipes. I found a cobbler and a muffin recipe that looked delicious. I decided to make the cobbler first and make the muffins tomorrow. I will still have plenty left over to eat alone or make smoothies with. You can't go wrong with strawberries!
Disclaimer: I may or may not have ate half this cobbler tonight. I'm sure it will all be gone by tomorrow :) I blame the pregnancy!
