Strawberry Picking Season

The first pick-your-own crop of the summer is strawberries!  They were beautiful and delicious!  The kids sampled them the entire picking time:



 We definitely got a good haul, and I still want to go back again!
 Jsette loved riding in the wagon, and Finn enjoyed trying to pull it:
 Then, he hopped in when he got tired, and they continued eating:
 Josette will take any opportunity to climb:
 And, where there are farm animals, you will find Finn:


So far we have made:
  • Elegant Oven Strawberry Jam
  • Strawberry Rhubarb Jam (with our home grown rhubarb!)
  • Strawberry Lemon Marmalade
  • Strawberry Mango Popcicles
  • Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
  • Strawberry Shortcake
  • And, the fruit bats just eat them by the handful at every opportunity :)

Love the comment about Josette will take any opportunity to "climb", you climbed anything and everything, especially trees. Couldn't get you out of them. Love Baboo.
