Summer is in full swing, and what better way to celebrate the long-awaited blue skies and long, lazy days than picking buckets-full of juicy, sweet, sun-ripened berries, straight from the vine?
Strawberry season is peaking now, and blueberries follow in late July. Here are 13 awesome U-Pick farms to take the kiddos to, collect buckets of berries, and make summertime memories (not to mention same pretty great jam)!

Congo lines, a genie in a bottle, Eleanor the Elegant Elephant and a dancing bear? Combine that with kindie sensation Caspar Babypants plus the magic of Teatro ZinZanni, and you’ve got a pretty fabulous morning! King’s Wish is Teatro ZinZanni’s all-new, family production and is sure to entertain both kiddos and adults alike! We were lucky enough to check it out this past Saturday, and recommend it to any family looking for an hour and fifteen minutes of solid entertainment. The show is both unique and interactive, featuring ZinZanni circus performers (an awe-inspiring acrobat, a young juggling prodigy and a rope aerialist extraordinaire) and the loveable jams of Caspar Babypants. Kids are welcome to crowd around the small stage toddler mosh-pit-style, and get an up-close view of the performers’ flawless acts. Sing-alongs, audience participation and a superbly crafted show make for an exciting and memorable treat for families.
*Snacks and drinks are available for purchase, or just bring your own.
*Photography is not allowed during the performance, so I unfortunately couldn’t provide any photos. (More reason to check it out for yourself!).
