Berry Picking

On Monday we went with the Thompsons to a local farm where you can pick your own strawberries. The berries were big and beautiful. As soon as we stepped out of the car, we could smell them. It was super fun to pick them, especially since the kids could eat as many as they wanted while they were picking.

Baylie was so enthusiastic that she picked the whole plant. Whoops!

Jalen was a terror, walking over plants and eating everything in sight - whether it was ripe or not or covered in sand.

By the time we were finished, he had strawberries from head to toe (notice the dot on his forehead).

We filled two baskets full for $9 a basket.

We made Belgian waffles...

...a berry pie (my first)...

...two batches of jam...

...ate a few...

... and still had some left to freeze. So much fun!
