I had been wanting to go to pick strawberries forever with the kids and never did. finally the other day we decided to go and it was so much fun for us. it gave us something to do as a family, I didnt think they would have fun picking strawberries but they did.
and they were wayyyy better then buying them at the store(the taste and the price!)..
I made strawberry shortcake! it was soooo goood...
anyways, do u like to pick your own or buy from the store?

I think I've bred the world best berry pickers! We have a small strawberry patch in our backyard, and my girls can be found out there everyother day looking for the "Perfect" berry. The 2 year old thinks they are the green ones... fortuantely she eats those, so I don't have to take care of them.
This last weekend we went out to my in-laws farm and harvested black raspberries. Again, the youngest ate more than she picked, but she was having a lot of fun. She was purple from head to toe by the time we were done. LOL!
In a couple of weeks, we'll be able to shake the mulberries out of the trees, and the gooseberries should be ready. Guess I better stock up on canning supplies and start making jam & jelly! :)

Yaa, i remember very well , when i was young we use to go with mom and dad to our farm. we were having lots of grape vine there and vegetables too. i remember me picking up lots of veggies and then when we use to return back home, we use to distribute it to our neighbours too. i always enjoyed those days a lot. now i am married and i am very very far from them. you made me remember those days, those beautiful days , that precious time spend with my parents. i am missing them them sooooooooooo much. plus those moments when my mom and dad use to keep shouting from back and i use to run here and there in the big farm that we had.
