Strawberry Fields

I love strawberry season! Local strawberries fresh picked from the fields. It's a fun activity for the kids and it makes for some yummy eating and homemade strawberry jam!!

One Friday JD and I were trying to get a game plan for the day. I knew I wanted to pick this season, but the window of opportunity is super small. That added with a 7 day forcast of rain meant we needed to go...that day!

We got dressed and headed out to the fields and picked 2 gallons. It was pretty quick. I think Max ate a quart in the fields. (Funny he hasn't eaten another one since. That's my crazy boy!!)


It was a fun day. I spent the afternoon making jam, freezing for smoothies, and making a white chocolate pie. Yum!!
