Last Sunday, Father's Day, we went out to do some strawberry picking. The season would soon be coming to a close and both Mark and Annabelle were jonesin' for some home-made strawberry jam. So after brunch at my mom and dad's house, we took a drive on over to Greg's U-Pick for a few hours of strawberry fun. I ended up with sunburn and a rash all over my arms, Annabelle fell down and scraped her leg up, but we ended up having a really fun time.

We ended up making 13 ten ounce jars of strawberry jam and 4 sixteen ounce jars, plus a huge amount of sugared strawberries for strawberry shortcake and 36 ounces of strawberry juice. I'm pretty sure we are going o be all strawberried out but it was all worth it!
