Strawberry pickin

I went strawberry picking with the kids last Thursday in preparation to make some strawberry jam.

 I had some excellent helpers who were eager to pick and eat the berries.

 

 

 

 Mackston did mostly eating.

 

 

 

 Crew was sampling the crop.

 One of our two boxes of strawberries.

 

 We got home and made strawberry jam and a strawberry pie.  We ended up with 22 jars of strawberry jam which will make for excellent peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for school this fall.

Crew fell asleep in the middle of our jam making. It's tiring work being a strawberry helper.
