Strawberry Picking

Yesterday my mom took us four kids strawberry picking (Thomas didn't want to pick any though, so he sat in the car while we did)!  We have strawberries at our house, but our plants don't produce enough to do too much with.
I love strawberry picking.  This is our second year going to this strawberry farm (Straight River Farm), but I have always loved going picking (strawberries or apples).  The farm that we have been going to makes it really fast for you to pick your berries.
You drive up a driveway to the farm.  They give you some baskets for the berries (The baskets come in great use for other things.  We have used the ones we got last year several times.)  A worker assigns you to a row to pick, and you pick the strawberries!

A lot of the strawberries we picked this year were ginormous and really ripe.

It was a gorgeous day for strawberry picking.  We picked around 48 pounds of strawberries.

Last night we had strawberry milk shakes and hamburgers for supper and it was so delicious.  We have been eating them fresh.  Today I have been washing, freezing, and making jam with all the strawberries.  And, there are still more.
