It was the first time the boys had ever been strawberry picking, and it was the perfect day for it! We went to Blaser's Acres in Suamico and picked a flat under a clear blue sky on Tuesday! The boys kept yelling, "Wow! Look at THIS one! Ohhhhh! I found another one!" every time they would lift a leaf and discover more berries! They ran up and down the rows squealing and brought their finds back to help fill the flat.
Strawberry picking is something we used to do every summer with my mom and Grandpa Richie, and I think the last time I went was probably with them back in high school! I missed the smell of strawberries in the air and the taste of a berry warmed by the sun. The boys couldn't get enough of them, and kept asking for "just one more?" It was a great day.
I made homemade pound cake and we had strawberry shortcake for dessert that night. The next day, I made a batch of freezer jam, and we still have plenty more berries for eating and freezing. And maybe some more jam, too! Happy 4th of July!
