Strawberry Picking

Yesterday, my friend Katie invited us to go strawberry picking with her and her kids.  Emerson doesn't like strawberries (or many fruits for that matter) and Jayce (who hangs out with us on Thursdays) can't eat strawberries, but they both really wanted to go!  So we went to Morse Brothers and picked about 8 lbs.  I haven't been strawberry picking since I was a kid.  It was fun!  We took them home and made freezer jam and then made lots of topping for strawberry shortcake.  Yum!
Emily, Emerson, and Aiden are ready to fill up their baskets
Emmie picked a few and emptied them into my box.  She then filled her basket up again (from my box) and emptied it into Katie's box.  She and Emily decided this was much more fun than picking them off the plants!
Drink break!  The plants looked thirsty too, so Emmie gave them a sip.
I'm not sure why, but these 3 look like they're up to something here
Emerson and Jayce made the biscuits for strawberry shortcake when we got home
