Strawberries and Jam!

A couple weekends ago we went to a farm to go Strawberry picking. The kids had SO much fun. It was great to have an opportunity to explain to Emily where our food comes from. That all the strawberries we buy from the grocery store came from a plant like this, and someone picked them for us and washed them and sent them to the grocery store.

The kids loved the berries. Emily told us that she planned to alternate between putting the berries in our container, and eating them.


16 pounds of berries! (and some of the jam we made with it!)


The kids were too busy eating berries to look at the camera


The kids were GREAT helpers when it came to making the jam! They were very good berry squashers.
