I promised the kids that we would pick strawberries this year. Last year we missed the short season with coming back from India. We headed out to Hoffman Farms on a perfect Friday evening. The sun was warming our backs just as a cool breeze kicked up to keep us nice and comfortable. I have some fast pickers! Between the boys and I we picked 16 lbs of berries in 25 minutes! Alesha, mostly walked the aisles, pulled off a few strawberry bush leaves, and played with dirt clots. I hulled, froze, and made 9 containers of freezer jam. Can't wait to see how the blueberry, boysenberry, marionberry, and raspberry picking goes.

| This was the only berry she ate the entire trip. Not a big fan. |

| Apparently Alesha didn't understand you are supposed to pick the red berry not the green leaves. |
