Strawberry Picking


We took the gang up to a local berry farm to pick strawberries last week, so we could make some freezer jam.  It was an adventure to say the least.  Not the best activity to do with a toddler and an infant.  1.  You can't pick strawberries with an infant strapped in a front pack,  2.  Toddlers eat berries faster than you can pick them, 3.  You spend most of your time chasing a toddler around than you do picking berries.

We figured out a pretty good system after a little bit.  I would feed Natalie while David picked berries, then he would burp her as I picked.  By the time our adventure was over we had a load of berries and 17 jars of jam!
