We went strawberry picking the day after school got out. We got some friends to come with us which made it more fun. I really expected the girls to think it was boring and get tired of it real quick, but they had a blast. We had 2 buckets and they filled one themselves, I think they picked more than me.
I love seeing these rows and rows of strawberry plants, so beautiful!
I was hoping Ashley would just hang out here, but she didn't like it too much. She stayed there for awhile, but then I had to get her out and then I wasn't able to pick as much.

Ashley figured out very quickly what strawberry picking is all about and started putting everything in her mouth she could find. It was pretty hard to keep her out of the plants.
We picked 15 pounds. I went home and spent the next 2 days making 3 batches of jam, smoothies and milkshakes, a strawberry pie, and froze or ate the rest. I LOVE Oregon strawberries.
Yes, that is the finished kitchen in the background. I just haven't taken the final finished pictures yet. Hopefully soon!
