Strawberries are Here!

Hood strawberries are the best jam strawberries and they are finally in season!  We went to a local farm to pick some last weekend.  It was a first for me, I usually just buy them at a Farmer's Market but decided the kids would have fun with it.  Joshua apparently had a tiring morning and passed out in the car on our drive there so he slept through the festivities until of course we were leaving and he was not happy about it!  Megan had a good time though, pointing out the good strawberries and the bad strawberries to us.  We picked about 10 pounds of strawberries which turned into about 12 pints of jelly, homemade strawberry ice cream, strawberry spinach salad and at least a couple of pints for nibbling.  Joshua probably had a pint all to himself!  I think we are going to have to go back for more, at least to let Joshua have some fun too.  Luckily it's all you can eat!
