Strawberry Picking

While Aunt Mandi, Uncle Walter, Abram and Katie were in town we went strawberry picking. Everyone had a great time and I think our eyes were bigger than our brains, because we came home with more strawberries than we knew what to do with. We all LOVE strawberries but we seriously had a ton!

Abram, Will, Landon and Katie picked strawberries for about 30 minutes. Surprisingly enough they didn't eat more than they picked.

The strawberry farm we went to was huge. This picture is not even a fourth of the farm. Needless to say we didn't even make a dent.

The cousins had a picnic lunch while Aunt Mandi, Uncle Walter and Daddy picked away.

The two white blobs are daddy and Aunt Mandi. They could have picked all day. It's something they have in their blood as their mom, Lou Ann, would have been right with them picking. They said it was a stress reliever, so they must have been pretty stressed because we came home with "65 pints" of strawberries.

I know to some of you this looks like a lot of strawberries, but this was taken after 57 jars of jam were made and we had already frozen and eaten some.

We have done everything we know to do with strawberries this week...strawberry shortcake, strawberry popsicles, strawberry muffins, strawberry pie, smoothies, strawberry jam, freezer jam and just as a snack. Good thing we LOVE strawberries because we will be eating on them for awhile.
