Everyone loves strawberry picking but have you picked your own corn before?

We did it for the first time last week and not only was it was great for family fun but at £2 for 5 corns, it was a cheap way to spend a morning out too. A perfect summer activity:

The girls enjoyed running through the corn field, hiding in amongst them. They were so tall, we could have easily lost them but luckily they didn't venture too far:

All three of the girls love corn on the cob so were excited to see how it grows. They enjoyed learning about the corn from Daddy and helping to pick their own dinner:

Daisy at only just 2 surprised us the most. She couldn't wait to get stuck in:

We had hoped to pick fruit too but the rasberries and strawberries we wanted weren't available that day. The girls weren't too upset though, they enjoyed their walk and play in the fields and then we managed to get some from the farm shop at the end:

Which of course the girls taste tested there and then in the sunshine. The verdict?….. mmmmm delicious:

Once home, the girls helped cover them in butter and wrap them in tin foil before Daddy popped them in the oven. I must admit dinner that night was a huge success with nothing but corn cobs left behind.

As always, linking in with country kids, the real inspiration behind our outdoor activities:
