Wednesday we finally had a free morning to get out to Barthel's Fruit Farm for some strawberry picking! It was a cool morning, but that was alright. We left home about 7:30am. We picked for about half an hour, and the boys were really good. I was afraid I'd be sitting back in the car with them while Jeff picked (again!) but they stayed right next to us - and only stepped on a few berries. And we were back home before 9:00.
"Is this a good one Jack?"

Doing their happy strawberry dance :)
That's a lot of berries!!!!
I washed and cut them up outside so I could watch the boys as they played, and Jeff was in and out doing window work. It worked out well! Kept the kitchen from getting covered in sticky strawberry juices!
My stations... berries, wash, drain, cut, done!
It took about 4 straight hours, but I got them all either in freezer bags or in bread or cake in the oven.
Good thing we started bright and early that morning :)
