Strawberry picking day

June is a strawberry season in Denmark and continues for about 5-8 weeks.   We drove about 45 minutes to a local farm for some fun family activity.  Spending time outdoors with the children and working together on a simple project i.e, strawberry picking is one of life's sweetest pleasures. It's an inexpensive and a fun activity that all ages can enjoy.

We went to Bakkegården  on a lovely Sunday afternoon for our outdoor activity. The place is just amazingly peaceful.

 Nothing beats the taste of local strawberries in season. 

 

He was super excited. He basically ate the berries straight from the field.

 





 

Miss Curious was overwhelmed by the beauty.  She diligently picked them so that I could make her favorite muffin. (hehe)

 





 

The berries were riped, sweet and tender they need nothing to coax them into deliciousness.  The only down side is that berries does not stay fresh that long, so you must be prepared to eat or bake what you picked.

 

It only took us 40 minutes to fill our bucket with these little lovelies and time to be heading home.. 

 

It was indeed a great way to end our weekend. -Anything done as a family is worth doing-
