Strawberry Picking

Saturday June 5th Ryan and I took the kids to pick strawberries!! It was so fun! I was really excited cause I had never done this. The kids were pretty excited about it. Kaitlyn asked everyday if we could go again. She LOVED it!

The kids with their baskets running to the strawberries!



Picking the strawberries actually went really well. Kaitlyn picked the most and did it all by herself! Em's had to go potty so she missed out on a lot of it, but she was fine with that because there was mud (gasp!). She's such a princess, I love it. And Logan LOVED picking them too! If I would just grab em and put them in his bucket he would get upset. HE wanted to do the picking. So cute. All I had to do was point them out and he would pick them.








Logan would NOT let anyone hold his bucket! Those were his strawberries! Such a big boy, so cute!



We were only there all of 45 mins before we decided that was good. Logan and Em were ready to leave but Kaitlyn wanted to stay all day! We pick 9 1/2 lbs of strawberries! While I was checking out the kids got to sit on the huge rocking chair.




Definitely a good and fun experience. I'm glad we got to go!
We told our friends how fun and easy it was so a few of us got together on the next Friday and went picking again! This was the last day of picking (strawberry season is SHORT!) so there weren't as many good ones, but we still had a good time and got lots of strawberries. I didn't stay very long. It was supper hot and bending and being way pregos don't go so well together. The kids were happy to go again and we got to get a few more strawberries. Which was good cause we ate all the other ones!



I made strawberry freezer jam with some of the strawberries!!! It was my first time and it was SOO yummy! We've been eating pb&j's a lot more since then and it's almost all gone already!
