It doesn't feel like summer until you have gone to a U-Pick Farm (or two, or three). Last year we picked strawberries in the Netherlands, blueberries in Belgium and apples in New Hampshire. Fruit from all over the globe!Today we started our picking adventures at a little farm in Maastricht. The weather was chilly but clear and we had a good time, once again.
Katie, by nature, is a collector. Always has been since about 18 months old. It started with rocks and then moved to acorns. She has a great attention span and just loves to find things, always seeking the more perfect one.The only way I got her to leave the farm was if I promised to bring her back this week! Guess we are going back in a few days!

It took Andrew about 10 minutes to get the hang of the picking. Like usual, he was just happy to be playing outside in the grass and dirt. And, he was very impressed by the two tractors in the field. He said, "ooo wook (look), a tractor" over and over...
Once he did get the hang of it, he also found out that one of the perks of picking your own - sampling the crop! They were delicious.
Yum - my
