Today being the first day of Spring Break, we took complete advantage of the opportunity to visit a Korean strawberry farm. As I
might have mentioned before, the strawberries here are
the best we have ever eaten! I do believe that we have eaten more strawberries in the last several months than we have in several years in the States.
The playgroup here arranged for a field trip to one of the local strawberry farms and for about $7 a person, you got to pick a container of strawberries, and eat all you wanted while you were there. They then showed us how to make jam, and then we got to taste the delectable stuff! Needless to say, it wasn't necessarily a cheap trip since I spent another $15 on jam and strawberry plants, but hey, if I can keep the plants alive, we can have our own strawberries any time we want them! Now I just have to figure out how to smuggle the plants back into the US... anyone ever started a strawberry plant from seed?
As you can see by Tristan's empty container and full mouth, he was more interested in eating the berries rather than picking them

Letting the kids do the work
This was our backdrop.
Korea really is a beautiful place once you get out of the cities.
Our treasures...
...turned even more delicious!
And who can resist a little Cool Whip on top?
I could get used to eating all this fresh fruit - even without all the added sugar that's in this pie!
