Strawberry Picking

Picking berries is a summertime tradition for my family. When we visit Washington in late June or July, we like to take the kids to the U-Pick berry fields.

Riding out to the field.

This is Jack's response to "Show me your basket."

AnneMarie's basket is empty because everytime she got 3 or more berries in there, she wanted to dump those into the larger flats the adults were picking into. She actually was very good and berry picking and afterwards, she made strawberry jam with Grandma.

Enjoying the fruit of his labor!
