One of our favorite traditions is picking strawberries and making jam.
The children were devastated earlier this year when we ran out of jam - they lead pretty rough lives. ;o)
We have had an extremely rainy spring which resulted in a less-than-stellar crop.
We still had a great time picking, though!
Lucy wasn't too interested in the strawberries...
The girls alternated between eating and picking.
We always joke that we should weigh them before and after we pick.
Caroline was really helpful this year.
Andrew had a great time in the field with his buddy, Caleb.
A good time was had by all!!
Washing berries with two of my favorite girls...
mashing them....
adding the "shug-uh" as Caroline would say =)
Unfortunately, we bought generic sugar this year.
Apparently this is a big no-no when making jam.
None of the FIFTEEN JARS set. =(
On the bright side, I've got some amazing strawberry ice cream topping. ;)
