I’ve been wanting to go to a strawberry patch for awhile now and we finally did it last week with some friends. We drove out to Marburger Orchards in Fredericksburg. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “Everything is bigger in Texas!” well, not so for their strawberries haha. I’d been imagining picking these big lush strawberries…instead it took us 3 hours to pick 9 lbs of quite small ones. The friend that I went with just moved here from California too, so it wasn’t what she was used to. We still had a great time though and the weather seriously couldn’t have been better, it was overcast and there was a nice breeze.
The kids loved running around in the rows and even ‘helped’ us pick a few green ones :)
We hadn’t got our fill for strawberries yet so we stopped at Costco and bought more on the way home! The next day we made all kinds of yummy things with our 20lbs of strawberries; freezer jam, homemade ice cream, fruit leather, puree, dried strawberries, strawberry cupcakes and smoothies. 
I’ve been on a cupcake making kick lately, so of course I had to try these since I had so many strawberries.

I love that you went to that farm--I'd heard things about it, but have never gone. Too funny. And, way to pick out Kennedy's shirt. :) DARLING.
