individual strawberry pies
(these were delicious for breakfast)

Once you've picked the strawberries, you have to make strawberry jam, right?

teamwork!

we made 8 pints of delicious freezer jam - yum!

Strawberry picking with the Walshes wasn't quite as much fun this year due to all the horrid gnats!!

But it was still great to see them and to come home with our bounty!

It's June in New England -
that means strawberry picking time!
This year we tried a new location - Land's Sake in Weston MA.

Our friends Anna, Shuba, Sanjeev,
Michele, Laura and Ada joined us for some fun in the strawberry fields.

Even Sophie picked strawberries!

happy day

Check it out! The picture of Noah picking strawberries has been featured in a post on one of my favorite personal finance blogs, Get Rich Slowly! This is the same blog that inspired our berry picking outing!

On our way to strawberry picking at Drumlin Farm!

We took a hayride to the strawberry fields (daddy took this picture of us)

Our friends Noah and Ezra and their parents
Tim and Tania came with us and we had a blast!

Noah ate about a million strawberries right in the field!

Ezra, Noah and Noah...
silly boys!
Mommy's planning to make strawberry freezer jam tonight or tomorrow -
this whole outing was inspired by a post at GetRichSlowly - thanks Kris & JD!

Now that we've discovered Drumlin farm (<30 minutes from us!),
you are sure to see more pictures from there later this summer.
