Picking Strawberries



We had been wanting to go pick strawberries during Spring Break, but we were so busy and never got around to it, so we decided we would go today. Every summer when we go visit my sister, she always has homemade strawberry freezer jam and we absolutely love it and always look forward to it. We have been wanting for a long time to try to make it ourselves, so today we made our first attempt and we will know tomorrow if it turned out. The kids had a lot of fun. The Strawberry Farm seemed to be real kid friendly. They gave all the kids their own little basket to collect the strawberries and they even got their own little pair of scissors. The kids were so excited but try controlling several kids and what kind of strawberries they are picking. It was fun though. The kids had a blast. Later we made our strawberry jam which the kids really got into. I hope it taste good because we all have really been looking forward to it.

So jealous, we don't get strawberries up here until June. At least we are getting some spring weather and can enjoy being outside. Well, most of us. Marty ends up with sneezing fits! You all look great. The girls' haircuts are cute! We miss you lots!
