Strawberries Anyone?

The kids and I took an impromptu trip to the strawberry patch to pick berries. It is a beautiful, cool day (too cool for the pool) so we needed something fun to do. They loved picking the berries. Grant had the job of holding my camera, so that kept his hot little hands out of the berry plants. He was way more concerned with the tractor and wagon that took us out and back. Every time it would leave, he would yell "Mom, the tractor?" and when it came back he would say "Jacob, the tractor is back." EVERY TIME. I thought we had picked at least 10 pounds of berries, but when we went to weigh them, we only have just over 3 pounds. I was hoping for enough to make jam. Apparently, we had enough. We are all ready for some toast and jam!!!
