Well Hello There Adventure Seekers!


Some Tales Of Strawberries!


Mist Covered Days!

So the day wasn't exactly what we hoped for it to be but since we weren't going to the beach we thought screw it... We're only going to hunt for some strawberries over at the RedBerry farm!

Yeahp! You read that right hunting for strawberries! The cool part about the farm is that they allow you to go off into the fields to pluck your own strawberries!

Okay most would say but you can eat yourself fat on strawberries and no that is not the case! Yo can't chill there the entire day eating as much as you can! Of-course you can do it in secret but that would just be as low as one can get right!

Anyways! There's me and The Betty and the green little house all covered up with fog!

The Beauty Of The Place!

Okay so this isn't what the farm is known for but those flowers... Damn I think they are pretty damn blooming right?

I've never seen them so lucious and big ever in my life before! Don't ask me what they're called because frankly I don't know and I don't have to know if I know I like them! That makes sense... I think!

The farm goes through a lot of effort each and every year to make this place stand out a cut above the rest and they succeed year after year and every year coming here just surprises me even more! (Noteable point is that these were taken last year and they even made improvements this year as well!)

The overgrown arch! It feels like one is walking into a forest with all the plants and bushes! I love it!

Adventures For Sure!

Oh no, you thought wrongly if you thought we were only coming here for the strawberries!

NAH!

They've got a great deal of things to keep yourself busy and they are mostly adventures! So we bought ourselves a nice bundle deal with a bunch of stuff to do so that it can turn into memories and not just tummies full of strawberries!

The Hedge Maze!

Well we decided on tackling the Hedge Maze first! Since it would be the one that takes up the most time and it can turn into a real time ticker if you get way too lost in it!

There are a few stamps to get and finding them in a maze and a maze of people can be real difficult! Oh don't think you can rely on others to guide you! Nah! They think they are guiding you in the right directions but they don't even know where they are half the time!

The same goes for our guidings!

The list of to do's!

Trust me it's not some whack maze!

No peeps! It really is a proper maze! A PROPER ONE!

Keep in mind that the photos are not even covering one side of the maze alone! It is a lot bigger than you can think it to be! ALOT!

Still Going Strong!

Halfway through the maze... well through finding the stamps we were still going strong!

I was under the impression that halfway through we would have already lost our minds and started killing each other off for food! This was not the case! Things were going splendidly!

I think we started struggling with the last two only!

The Betty giving me a thumbs up signalling the she is still okay! I think secretly we were all losing our minds but just kept our cools!

They even had a tunnel going down underground! Exiting at another point of the maze! There was ways around it by why? Let's just go where the monsters are!

20231230_123932.jpg


Stamping through it all! This was the key needed to get the hell out of this maze! So no stamps no going home!

Sheesh I'm glad we got all of them!

The RedBerry Express!

Here's just one of the stuff we didn't think we would do! The little train ride!

It really is more of a kiddies ride or at-least we thought so! Yeah it wasn't! It's a small train though but adults and kids both rode it! So why couldn't we?

We gave in our Express tickets and went in for the long haul ride! I got it on video so let's rumble through it!

The Video!

Now bear with me! Because watching this video now again after a year! Heck we are grown ups acting like kids but at-least we're young of spirit!


The Heist!

I swear the look on my face said I just completed a heist of some sort or maybe I was planning one!

At-least we made it safely off the train and back to the station! Now it's off to the next thing to do!
How about those strawberry plucking now? I think that can go nicely!

20231230_130214.jpg


Now This Is Beautifull!

Heck I came down these now and boy oh boy!

Nature can really be astonishing from time to time right!

Flourishing wildly!

This doesn't happen often!

We rarely have anyone that can take nice pictures of us when doing our adventures on holidays! This time around we had an extra family member that could snatch one of me and The Betty!

How About Those Strawberries Now!

Seeing these images now I have to go grab the huge tub of strawberries in the fridge now!

Laughs well they aren't exactly that expensive for these tubs! Not at all!
If I had to convert this to dollars it was no more than 3 dollars for a tub of them, not sure how pricey they are overseas but dang we only paid R50 for these! Quite snackingly cheap right!

20231230_134250.jpg


I think that day we took home about six of those tubs! We picked up another sticker which allowed us to fill up yet another tub! That was a huge score! We ate wayyyyy too many strawberries that vacation! We were sick of it for the next year!

With This Signing Off!

Here's a snap we took on the train! On the way to our heist, the heist to grab those strawberries!!!

With that one I say goodbye! Until the next merry adventure!

Very nice! Green Bluff (north of Spokane, Washington) is a tourist-centric orchard region, but not quite as touristy as your well-established hedge maze and train! There have been various other you-pick farms, especially for Strawberries, which I have visited with my family over the years, but none quite like that.

The maze and train is just a few of the stuff you can do there... they have pedal gokarts along with bumper boats and bumper balls... there's even a little zoo... and more restuarants than you can think...one selling everything strawberry related from wraps to pies to cakes... beer tasting places... wine tasting... a small museum.

It's HUGE! They legitly get thousands of people everyday during the holidays!

Amazing place!!

oh those strawberries look delicious! and that maze adventure sounds interesting and fun! seems you had a great day, thanks for sharing 🤗 p.s: i loved your earrings 💁🏻‍♀️

It was an amazing day!

Laughs! It's the Betty's ear rings but I'll be sure to tell her!!!!

Oh wow what an amazing adventure! I love strawberries! 😍

It was amazing!!!
