Strawberry Picking

Last week the kids and I had a great time going strawberry picking with our playgroup. Jake and Mady had tons of fun running around and filling their baskets up with yummy strawberries. Mady didn't really end up with any in her basket because she decided to squish and eat pretty much every berry she picked...she was such a huge mess by the end of it! In the end we came home with a whole bunch of berries and some really fun memories.

All of the kiddos!

Here's Madison while she's still nice and clean.

Jake was really into picking the berries (at least for a little while).

Madison looks very delicate in this picture...but looks can be deceiving :-)

Here's the little lady as she first realized how fun it its to squish the strawberries.

Mashing the berries with her feet.

My handsome guy in his favorite shirt...he wears it at least once a week :-)

Starting to get a bit messy.

I love these next two pictures...first is sweet little Emma eating her strawberry as nice as can be. Next is my little angel after she's devoured about ten berries and smashed them all over herself!

Emma...such a cutie!

My Madison...as messy as can be!

After we picked the berries Jake and I had fun making some jam a few days later.

Crushing the berries up...he loved this part.

The finished product.
