Yesterday I went strawberry picking with some of my friends! I was fun! It really didn't take as long as I had anticipated and the heat didn't kill me either! The strawberries are all so deep red and super sweet! I ate so many strawberries while we were out there, I think I definitely got my moneys worth for going, and at 1.19 per lb its cheaper than going to the grocery store and the strawberries have a higher nutrient count because they have been picked more recently than their Chilean grocery store counter parts!
Since we now have an abundance of strawberries at our house I decided to try making freezer jam today! It was really simple, just follow the directions that come with your pectin. It made 5 jars, I think I might go out and buy some more jars tomorrow and make some more!

Here are some pictures @ the farm



Caidence and Danielle really enjoyed the eating part

Danielle especially, good thing for us she discovered how great the strawberries were toward the end. :)

She is so cute!

Here is Melissa and Caidence picking, Rosa is in the background. She was on a mission to get the best ones. Sam and Danielle are behind me so they got left out of the picture.
Yipee!! My kids made it on your blog!! They are pretty cute...
