As part of a birthday tradition we have now done for the past two years for Michael's birthday is to go strawberry picking. This year we were able to go on Tuesday, Mikes day off. We left Lily with Mimi and had at the strawberries uninterrupted. We picked approximately 28 pounds of them this year. It was insane but its such a fun thing to do that we just keep going. Nothing tastes better then a freshly picked strawberry. We should have weighed Jr. in before we began because he was eating them as fast as we could pick em.
I think in this picture he is checking to see if anyone will notice if he eats yet another one.
I am guessing here he realized he got away with it.
All 28 pounds.
Mike is starting the canning process. We ended up with 45 jars of jam. Thank goodness Michael eats peanut butter and jelly everyday.
** Canning update, we discovered today that jam is not setting so now we need to redo the jam and add more pectin. YUK!

We are going picking this week. I had the same problem last year with my jam and started doing freezer jam instead--tastes so much fresher. :)
