We've been wanting to go strawberry picking for awhile, and the berries were finally ready this weekend, so we ended up going yesterday to pick some. We went to a really nice farm with lots of rows of strawberry plants (they also had SO MANY blueberry bushes with lots of little green blueberries on them...they should be ready in another month or so, so we'll have to go back then and get blueberries).
The girls did really well! Even Gracie found lots of great strawberries. She was a little less selective, so I had to throw a couple out that were a little too early or too late. But overall, she picked a bucket of great strawberries. A shower popped up over us right about the time we started picking, and it sprinkled on and off the whole time. The girls were a little cold and whiny at the beginning, but then they got into looking for strawberries, and were focused!
We got lots of great berries... 4 containers full. It ended up being 8 or 9 pounds of strawberries, and they're delicious!! We've already eaten quite a few berries today. I want to try my hand at making homemade strawberry jam. I've never done any of that before, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Then, we'll have to see what other great strawberry things we can make...

Glad you all had fun. The strawberries look yummy! Strawberry picking here is in March or early April! The girls look so cute in their 4th of July tees.
Great pictures! It looks like it was a fun day.
Love, Mom
