Strawberry Picking!

We loaded up the other day to pick strawberries.  It looked like it was going to rain and we only had two hours to get it done, but we were determined to get some picked!

 

I was glad that McKenzie was able to join us!  The berries were beautiful and plentiful!  It didn't take anytime to pick eight buckets.

 

Myles was so cute picking his berries.  He picked so hard and refrained from eating a single one until he was finished. :o)

Macheus on the other hand........

Her little pregnant self stooped down and picked hard too! :o)

 

The air force base was down the road and these fighter jets flew over us the whole time.  It was so loud, but the boys thought it was pretty cool!

 

Mariah made two batches of strawberry jam. We put some in the freezer for smoothies.  Hoping to go pick some more before the weather gets too warm!
