Sweet Pickin's

We had a lot of fun picking our own strawberries at the berry farm really close to our house. Erica, Sammy, and Paxton joined us which made it all the more fun.

Look at Erica sporting Paxton in the Ergo.
Ethan's hat is not only covering his face, but also the fact that he ate every single strawberry that he picked too!
John Paul will make a great farmer someday! He was so proud of the berries he found.
The crew, walking between the rows.
Look at all of those berries!!!
The result?? One batch of strawberry jam and one batch of strawberry-rhubarb jam! Both batches were delicious. In fact, we even ate the strawberry-rhubarb on our pancakes Sunday morning. I love canning season!!
