Strawberry Picking

On Monday we we strawberry picking at Butler's Orchard. It was Tyler, my Mom, my sister-in-law Marlee, my sister-in-law Jamie and her daughter Lucy, and me. The picking was kind of hard, since all the big juicy strawberries had bugs or holes in them, plus it was super hot, but I made out with 8.5 lbs of yumminess.

This is what Tyler was more interested in picking by the end of the time...

After strawberry picking, we went to my mom's house and made homemade strawberry jam. I made 12 jars and have already gone through 2 it is so good. Then I froze some, made some into strawberry shortcake topping, and ended up with only one tupperware full of fresh strawberries. Now, I can't wait for raspberry season!
