Strawberry Pickin'

Last week we had perfect weather to go to the strawberry farm.
Here are some pictures of our fun!

Isaac, our eager helper...always loves strawberries!

"They call me Bond, Noah Bond"

Lydie was a good helper...when she wasn't examining them!

Eli loves his "schtwabewwies"!

Nanna kept Abigail comfortable during picking breaks.

We picked over 40 pounds! We made over 20 pints of jam, 10 quarts of sliced strawberries in suger for the freezer, and of course we ate some after picking and during lunch the next day.

I had a lot of eager helpers. The oldest four took turns capping, slicing, mushing, etc. It was great to see them working together -- and it made my back feel better!

Sometimes they had too much fun! Here Noah and Bekah had a hilarious running commentary about killer strawberries and killing strawberries. Too much fun!
