Strawberry picking

At the end of May we got the chance to go strawberry picking with Hannah and Izzy(yay for being out of school). We traveled down to a patch about half an hour from us and had big plans for the picking. Baylee picked about 20 strawberries and was done. Tanner picked and squished 3 and was done. Baylee  says she had a good time though. The 3 kids ended up going down to the end of the row and sitting in the shade while Hannah and I picked berries. They were chatting it up with people walking past going to pick. While you teach your children not to talk to strangers, etc, Tanner was ready to go home with a lady that stated she had a tractor. This would be a magical land for him since he loves riding even the lawn mower with us. Luckily, they were close and the nice grandmother is a school bus driver and was really good with children.

After the short ones lost patience, we headed to Culvers for lunch and ice cream and then of course had to stop by Kohls since we were in the area.

Turns out, while I thought lacking in the berry department upon arriving at home, I actually had enough to make 3 batches of strawberry freezer jam and a large batch of strawberry milkshakes that were to die for.
