June Strawberry Picking

 Kelli and I and the kids headed out to Tekonsha to do some strawberry picking.
It was early in the season so there were so many to pick.
......and eat!
 The kids were doing so good at picking the berries until one of us, I'm not sure who, told them that it was ok to eat some too.  It was all over for Mason and Averie at that point.  They might as well have sat down and just ate. 
Mason being the good kid that he was would pick a few, then sit and eat them out of his basket.  So in his mind he sure did help us pick the berries. 
 Jaxson decided he would like to go for a walk so Sarah spent most of her time pushing the stroller.
She was in heaven.  Averie did decide to help her out a little bit by walking with her.

 The whole picking crew.  Jacob did not want his picture taken.  I only got him to cooperate by promising I wouldn't post it on facebook.  Too grown up for a picture with the kids I guess.
I ended up with 8 pints of strawberries.  Everybody helped out and we all went home happy.
I also made jam for the first time, who knew it was so easy.
