We decided picking
strawberries sounded like a great idea on Friday so off we went. Allison was some short of excited!! It took us 1.5 hours to pick 9 pounds of berries. About half way AAron needed a break and called mom from the field to tell her a list of things he needed :) thankfully Hudson was in the mood for berry picking and let me bend over for awhile without having to run to the bathroom 12 times. All in all it was a great time, Allison keeps telling us we NEED more berries, but I think she just wants to go ride the tractor again. Of course we had to have that wonderful talk about why we can't eat ALL the berries in one day, daddy even had to chime in on that conversation over Skype! She was very upset and had to tell him all about how momma was mean and would give her anymore berries. (That's the pic, with her lip poked out)
We ended up canning 7 jars of jam, which turned out a little to thin for my taste but is great as ice cream topping and for pancakes! Wish you all were close we'd share or even better, put AAron's new ice cream maker to good use and have you all over!!
