Chesterfield Berry Farm.

Saturday we had a great day! First we went to Goochland's First Annual Countryfest. I really have no pictures to share of that event because we basically just walked around and then we ate lunch. Griffin wasn't feeling that great ... I took him back to the doctor on Friday and he has an ear infection and a bronchial infection. So, he's on medication and we just wanted him to take it easy. So, we took the stroller there and just walked around a little bit.

Then later in the afternoon, Griffin was feeling MUCH better. We went on over to the Strawberry Festival at Chesterfield Berry Farm. We really had a GREAT time there. I was so glad Griffin was feeling better so we could go while Grandma was here visiting.

And the strawberry yumminess we made last night from our just picked berries ... this strawberry shortcake was absolutely DELICIOUS!!

I would love to make a trip to the strawberry patch an annual tradition with our family. This is our 2nd year in a row going ... looks like we are on the right path.

yummy! Strawberries are a late May, early to mid June crop here in NJ. We have a Chesterfield in NJ, think I told you that before.

Send me a box of those berries, will ya! YUM!
I love sweet fresh strawberries.
When I was a kid, we bought a lot of fruit and veggies from the farmers market and they always had the best berries. So humongous and sweet. I am jealous!
